CNC Machining Carbon Fiber Watches

Tourbillon full carbon fiber strap watch, as the name suggests, the case is made of carbon fiber, but from the appearance of the watch, it seems to be different from traditional carbon fiber. Our CNC processed watch is made of aluminized carbon fiber, which belongs to carbon fiber reinforced polymer. The material is different from ordinary carbon fiber in that a layer of aluminum paint is sprinkled on the surface of the carbon fiber during the production process, and then heat treatment is performed to allow the aluminum to react with the carbon fiber to form an aluminum alloy layer. Carbon fiber after additional processing has more advantages, such as high strength, high rigidity, corrosion resistance, heat resistance and impact resistance, but at the same time, the original lightweight characteristics of carbon fiber materials are not affected. To simplify the description, this is a reinforced version of carbon fiber material, and in order to distinguish it from traditional carbon fiber, Hublot deliberately makes the material itself appear silver-gray, making its weaving texture unique.

We have previously used CNC lathes to manufacture aluminized carbon fiber products such as Big Bang Unico Chronograph, Big Bang Unico Golf Watch, Big Bang Meca-10 Power Reserve Watch, and even include the same function and same machine as this new model. Core Big Bang Tourbillon Automatic, etc., aluminum-plated carbon fiber not only matches with various functions, but also its appearance color is not only silver gray. After Hublot adjusts the formula, it can appear blue, green, yellow, etc., subversive Our established impressions of carbon fiber materials.

And since the brand has already launched the Big Bang automatic tourbillon with an aluminized carbon fiber case, why will it appear again in 2023? Because we not only use this material to make the case this time, but also the integrated bracelet of the watch is also made of CNC-processed aluminized carbon fiber. Compared with the previous model, the aluminized carbon fiber Big Bang automatic tourbillon is paired with a nylon watch. Band, this year we first used aluminized carbon fiber to make an Integrated chain band, and our technical achievements have been advanced again, which also helps to reduce the overall weight of the watch.

Since the Integrated belt chain came out in 2020, our CNC operators have used various materials such as metal, ceramics, metal inlaid with gemstones/diamonds, sapphire, and even metal with ceramics. In 2023, we will use plating Aluminum carbon fiber creates this kind of belt with a very brand-recognizable shape. Generally, metal belts are not light in weight, but the belt made of aluminum-plated carbon fiber only weighs 26 grams. If the watch head is included, The weight of the watch head alone is only 42 grams, which is equal to the total weight of the whole watch is only 68 grams. Considering that the watch has a diameter of 43mm, when worn on the hand, the relatively light feeling will make people feel very surprise. The Integrated belt made of CNC-processed aluminized carbon fiber is not only light in weight, because the shape of the belt is quite complicated, and the cutting, processing and chamfering of aluminized carbon fiber are full of challenges in the production process. , highlighting our mastery of material properties and precise craftsmanship.

The material of the Big Bang Integrated tourbillon full carbon fiber bracelet watch is very strong, but don’t forget that its HUB6035 movement is also very distinctive. The direction of the tourbillon corresponds up and down. Compared with the previous Big Bang Tourbillon Automatic, which also uses aluminized carbon fiber, the new model changes the time scale to a rectangle. In addition, the movement also has a hollow base plate, which presents a criss-cross pattern. From the front, it seems that the movement components seem to have become more complicated, and when viewing the movement from the perspective of the transparent bottom cover on the back, the perspective of the movement will be slightly reduced due to the hollowed out substrate, but these are just visual effects It is just a subtle difference, and the specifications and performance of the movement itself all show the exquisite craftsmanship of the brand. There is also a circle of black-plated titanium metal around the transparent bottom cover to provide a more skin-friendly effect, and our CNC machining process has also added a step, which is to engrave the limited number of the watch on the titanium metal bottom cover, which is limited to only 50 pieces The rarity of the number has virtually increased people’s favorability for this ultra-light tourbillon bracelet watch.
