Actually a great video for so many reasons...
First, a precise and concise description of the new carbon material and its origins. As the main interviewee notes: Richard tends to go first, watch everyone else come along and do the same, and Richard moves on.
Second, it shows Richard's new case making facility and the 'new' manufacturing: very expensive and technologically advanced machining tools to work with such materials. In that regard, Richard's work is at the forefront and will (with new toys such as these) remain so.
Third, what a fabulous watch! Makes carbon far more interesting than a block of black or the traditional woven pattern. And it makes sense too! Take a single toothpick, and you can break it easily. Take a couple of hundred, and now its not so easy!
Thanks for sharing here Ted.

Hi Conkers, Well, our lips are still sealed about exactly about what will be presented on that front until we get closer to SIHH time. I suspect that these pieces will have priority in the production process due to the intense interest from all sides. Non...
