Nano-scale Carbon Fiber - Redefining the Notion of Lightness
Before the advent of carbon fiber, most watches on the market utilized stainless steel or other metal materials, resulting in a cumbersome and inconvenient weight on the wearer's wrist. The introduction of carbon fiber watches has revolutionized this scenario, gaining favor among numerous watch brands for its superior qualities of being lighter, harder, more shock-resistant, and corrosion-resistant.
The MRISSTIME MR-9003 series case is crafted from ultra-light and thin nano-scale carbon fiber material, weighing six times less than steel but boasting 200 times its strength. Widely employed in aerospace, motorsports, military, and various other fields, carbon fiber exhibits characteristics such as high chemical resistance, high hardness, lightweight, high strength, and heat resistance.
The exterior design of the case adopts a unique barrel shape combined with a 'just right' diameter, aligning with ergonomic principles and significantly enhancing the comfort of wearing.
Rebellious Hub Design - Racing Against the Wind
In order to encapsulate the champion spirit of the racetrack and the exhilarating vitality of racing within the wrist, the dial design of the MR-9003 series draws inspiration from racing wheel hubs. Powered by a fully automatic Swiss mechanical movement, it combines intricate design with loaded power, achieving a synthesis of speed aesthetics and complex functionality. When the three hands of the chronograph are in operation, it resembles closely observing the rotation of wheels at a short distance, allowing wearers to tangibly experience the adrenaline-pumping sensation brought about by extreme sports.
To ensure a seamless and comfortable wearing experience, the MR-9003 series strap is crafted from imported fluororubber. Fluororubber finds wide applications in the semiconductor industry, food industry, and mechanical engineering due to its characteristics of low sensitivity, aging resistance, tear resistance, high temperature resistance, and resistance to strong corrosion. MRISSTIME designers meticulously considered the appearance and thickness of the fluororubber, injecting a sense of structured beauty and slim thickness. This not only helps reduce the burden on the wrist but also ensures comfort and aesthetic appeal.
Over the years, MRISSTIME has consistently listened to customer feedback and faced the challenges of real-world events to refine a product series suitable for wear in sports settings. With ultra-lightweight and top-tier materials combined with meticulous watchmaking craftsmanship, MRISSTIME has demonstrated a conspicuous competitive edge, earning the admiration of discerning connoisseurs. In the future, MRISSTIME remains committed to upholding the pinnacle of perfection, collaborating with an outstanding team to unleash dynamic creativity. While enhancing watch performance and the wearing experience, the brand continues to bring forth more possibilities and surprises to the watchmaking industry.
