Carbotech
Цитата:
The new Luminor Submersible 1950 Carbotech is different from the others! The case is made of carbotech, a composite material based on carbon fibre, never before used in the world of watchmaking. As well as providing exceptional technical performance, carbotech has an uneven, matt black appearance, which varies according the cutting of the material: the result is that each example is unique.
The structure of carbotech is designed to enhance both the aesthetics and the performance of the material, which is used to make the case, the rotating bezel and the lever bridge, which protects the winding crown. To form the plates of carbotech from which these components are made, thin sheets of carbon fibres are compressed at a controlled temperature under high pressure together with a high-end polymer, PEEK (Polyether Ether Ketone), which binds the composite material, making it even stronger and more durable. The carbon fibres used are very long, so as to ensure great aesthetic uniformity, and the sheets are superimposed and pressed together in such a way that the fibres of each layer are set at a different angle to the ones above and below it. With this structure, the mechanical properties of carbotech are much higher than those of similar materials or of other materials used in the world of watchmaking, such as ceramics and titanium: carbotech is lighter than these and much more resistant to external solicitations, as well as being hypoallergenic and not subject to corrosion.

Новинки соответствуют кризисному году - ничего не заинтересовало. Вообще.
Может, как обычно, позже что-то из закромов достанут. Либо в сентябре на Гонг Конгском шоу.
Особенно "порадовал" карботех - "материал, впервые использован в часовой индустрии, полоски карбона спекаются". А про "кованный карбон" от АР не слышали??

Я бы добавил, что помимо того, что ничего не заинтересовало, так еще и начался какой-то балаган. Поймал себя на мысли, что этот год я пропускаю даже не сожалением, а с удовольствием.
