ChristianDK's original post highlights the unique appeal of tantalum in watchmaking, a material celebrated for its distinctive color and robust properties. This deep dive explores why tantalum, despite its challenges in machining, has become a coveted choice for luxury timepieces, particularly within the F.P. Journe collection. ChristianDK's visual contribution sparks a discussion on the meticulous application of this rare metal.
I was recently interested in a Cartier Santos ADLC (black), but the buckle of the strap was non-ADLC steel... I didn't like the mismatch. I see that FP pays more attention 😉
But, I am surprised the Santos didn't have a black buckle.
Every element is great in this watch
Difficult to work with.
