Audemars Piguet: The Royal Oak Carbon Concept

Carbon fibre has been the preferred material for high-performance applications that demand sturdiness. Formula 1 race cars, America’s Cup yachts and, even aerospace vehicles, have fully leveraged the material’s technical properties: strength and lightness.
Swiss watchmaker Audemars Piguet is a pioneer according to the use of carbon fibre for function as well as form. The Royal Oak Carbon Concept is surprisingly light thanks to materials such as forged carbon, amorphous carbon coatings, ceramics, titanium, and anodized aluminium, which forms the watch’s green central bridge. The absence of a dial provides a full view of the hand-wound Caliber 2895 movement’s key components: the tourbillon carriage—comprising more than 70 parts yet weighing a mere 0.45 grams—and the column wheel, which is the chronograph’s nerve centre. Audemars presents a novel twist on the 30-minute chronograph with a linear minute counter consisting of two columnar scales, with tens of minutes on the left and single minutes on the right. Tiny windows that correspond to each numeral mark elapsed time by changing from white to black. The wearer shifts from winding to time-setting by adjusting the stem.

The Hublot Big Bang King All Black Blue watch gets to be a perfect diver’s style timepiece. With 48m wide, it includes the 300 meters of water resistance, a diver’s style face with large legible dial, and the rotating diver bezel (made of matte finished ceramic). The fact of being blue on the hands and hour indicators makes it seem to almost exist only on the periphery, even the insides are coloured black, the edges are all deep blue. Most of the watch is in matte ceramic. Inside is the HUB1400 automatic movement. The blue alligator strap makes it more flexible. According to its dial, it is a sandblasted and rhodium plated one. The watch is available in a limited edition of 500 pieces.
