Audemars Piguet points out that it has been eight years since it last released a forged carbon watch, despite being the first brand to bring this material into watchmaking in 2007. The development of the CFT material took five years of intensive research by the brand’s in-house team. Lightweight, shock-resistant, and resistant to heat and humidity, CFT also has a lower resin content, making it more scratch-resistant than traditional forged carbon.<a href="https://luxury-watche-sale.com/audemars-piguet-c-7.html">replica ap watch</a>

The real innovation of CFT lies in its ability to directly color the carbon fibers rather than just the resin, allowing for endless artistic possibilities. The process begins by cutting the carbon fibers into small pieces, dyeing them with pigments, and arranging them in layers within a mold. These layers are compressed to expel air bubbles and then cured under pressure for ten hours, forming a color-patterned carbon block. The block is then machined for six to eight hours. As expected, Audemars Piguet has patented this Chroma Forged Technology manufacturing method.<a href="https://luxury-watche-sale.com/jacob-co-c-123.html">luxury replica tourbillon astro a watch</a>

The case of the new Royal Oak Concept Split-Seconds Chronograph GMT Large Date measures 43mm in diameter and 17.4mm in thickness. The CFT carbon features blue luminescent pigments that make the fibers glow in the dark, creating a striking visual effect that calls to mind Vincent van Gogh’s Starry Night, adding an artistic dimension to this technical masterpiece.
