Unlike mobile phones, because the watch is worn on the wrist all year round, its social value is far greater than the functional attributes, which is one of the reasons why many people complain about the Apple Watch. So you can understand why so many celebrities often see them using iPhones, but rarely see them wearing Apple Watch.
For white-collar workers, bosses and other people who often socialize outside, for strangers who don't know you, they usually look at what you wear, what car you drive, what watch you wear, and roughly estimate your personality, aesthetics and strength, so a great mechanical watch
But many people are not willing to give up the powerful ability of Apple Watch in exercise and health detection, what to do at this time? The well-known Apple custom manufacturer Aiding gave a solution: let the Apple Watch crossover Richard Miller, and integrate the elements of Formula Racing, to create an Apple Watch S7 custom kit, with the Apple Watch S7 to use, full of luxury!
At the first sight of it, the smell of Richard Miller was full of it. In fact, the Aiding family did borrow from Richard Miller's design, not only reproducing the design, but also using the same NTPT thin layer composite technology made of carbon fiber materials, which were originally used in the racing chassis and aviation fields, and were cited by Richard Miller to the watch market. This material is hard, lightweight, shock resistant, durable, and has a very special texture.
In order to maximize its lightweighting, the Aiding adopts a Grade 5 titanium alloy material on the internal parts of the case, which is lighter, harder and more corrosion resistant than stainless steel. Carbon fiber + titanium alloy, with excellent ergonomic design, wear on the wrist without any burden.
However, such a material choice, the processing cost and material cost are very high. According to the Introduction of the Aiding Family Public Account, just the screw of the spline knob on the right side requires more than 20 processes to complete, and the scrap rate is as high as 50%! Therefore, so far, the kit is still in limited release and cannot be mass-produced. In this way, this gives the kit the attributes of luxury.
Of course, this kit is not for everyone. If you're a utility party, then I suggest you start with the Apple Watch SE, which is more cost-effective. If you want to have both the functionality of the Apple Watch and the aesthetics and social value of a unique mechanical watch, then this $8988 kit may be the only option at the moment.
