The weighed fibers are sealed in a small, dust-free container and taken to an adjacent room. Here, the carbon fibers are inserted into a metal mold for forging.

Dust can certainly cause a piece to become rejected, so many steps are Swiss Army Victorinox 251264 watch taken to prevent this. (Below) Video showing the process of manufacturing "forged carbon".aram (Slideshow of entire CNC department (Part I) AP: Forged Carbon Department Tour vtrue" This is actually the first part on my recent tour from the Audemars Piguet
tour)(Part III) AP: Post sales Department (AP Grand Sonnerie, with temporary wax protection around bezel, set for service/repair.)The third part of my Audemars Piguet factory tour, was a visit to the AP after-sales department. This Tissot T01.5.185.22 WoMen's watch was a very fun department to go to, because I could sense a genuine passion for watch. Also , since laying along with the different workbenches, were some of the most complicated timepieces I'd ever seen. Grand complications, minute-repeater, quarter-repeaters, tourbillons and more.
