North Thin Ply Technology (NTPT), a manufacturer from the marine engineering sector, has developed ultra-luxury watch materials that are lightweight yet stronger than steel. Their collaboration with the Swiss watchmaker Richard Mille highlights the integration of vivid colors and unique patterns into high-performance materials like Carbon TPT and Quartz TPT. This partnership has spurred NTPT's exploration of new bonding techniques and aesthetic modifications, culminating in luxury watches with colorful, intricate designs that appeal to high-end consumers, including motorsport-inspired models.
For the team at North Thin Ply Technology, abstruse topics like interlaminar fracture toughness, the chemistry of resin matrices, and the elastic modulus of fiber-based materials are meat and drink.
It's led us into investigating a lot of new processes to make patterns and develop new colors, and we've spent a lot of time finding ways to bond together unusual materials.
