The way the fibres are placed in the case mould are what makes each watches unique.
From an aesthetic point of view, its marbled effect, satiny and soft to the touch.

Each watch is unique because the carbon fibers are distributed in a random manner in the mold. “When the material is compressed under heating, it evolves in an unpredictable way”.
