Introducing Apiar Carbon1.0 OG
The Apiar Carbon1.0 OG is a pioneering sports watch that combines a 3D‑printed carbon‑fibre outer case with a Grade 23 titanium inner case, delivering an exceptionally lightweight yet robust construction. Leveraging Composite‑Based Additive Manufacturing, the watch achieves a high strength‑to‑weight ratio and features a skeletonised design that showcases the titanium core, while the dial—crafted from CNC‑machined, black‑anodised aluminum—echoes the carbon strands through its brick‑like motif. Powered by a La Joux‑Perret G101 automatic movement with a 68‑hour power reserve, the 40.5 mm, 9.2 mm thick case offers 50 meters of water resistance. It is available in a standard version priced at $1,800 and an “Additive Upgrade” at $2,080, which adds a British‑made Alcantara strap, a 3D‑printed titanium buckle, and an “Impossible” nylon travel case.
Buying Time Analysis: The story highlights Apiar’s pioneering use of composite‑based additive manufacturing to create a lightweight, robust sports watch, marking a significant shift toward advanced 3D‑printed materials in haute horology.
