IWC Schaffhausen and the German Aerospace Center (DLR): bringing fibre-reinforced ceramics (ceramic matrix composite) to watch cases and forward to new applications in space
2024-10-09
Reading Time: 5 minutesIn a joint development project, IWC Schaffhausen and the German Aerospace Center (DLR) have developed the first watch cases made from a ceramic matrix composite (CMC) material. Fibre-reinforced ceramics combine the hardness and scratch-resistance of conventional ceramic with the benefits of fibre composite materials, like high damage tolerance and extremeContinue Reading
