Apple Watch in fibra di carbonio

Pubblicato il 30/06/2016

La scocca in fibra di carbonio per Apple Watch è stata realizzata con precisione in modo da lasciare un’apertura per il sensore dei battiti cardiaci e dello spazio per poter ruotare la corona digitale. Per quanto riguarda i fori del microfono e dello speaker, anche questi ultimi sono stati realizzati con precisione minuziosa. Essendo uno chassis progettato da Feld & Volks i cinturini originali di Apple Watch non saranno compatibili mentre lo saranno le cinghiette standard degli orologi. Il cinturino, molto elegante e con chiusura in fibra di carbonio, verrà spedito al momento dell’acquisto insieme all’orologio. Feld & Volk pianifica di lanciare il modello di Apple Watch molto presto, al prezzo di $5,000. Oltre questa versione in fibra di carbonio la compagnia pianifica di rilasciare una versione in legno sia per la versione da 38mm che per quella da 42mm.
