You must be referring only to the Monaco Bamford?
TAG Heuer was smart in that they made the bezel insert and dial with this material/texture but has the durability of a steel case. A bezel insert can easily be replaced. I think the Aquaracer is perhaps the best integration of carbon fiber in a watch. I still haven' seen any "long-term" information on the durability of carbon fibre cases like the Bamford Monaco, so the jury is still out. As for "Anachrony" of mechanical movements? New materials IMO are one of the few ways you can push forward with technology in mechanical watches while still keeping them traditional mechanical. There are few other directions to go and personally, I think trying new materials moves the entire industry forward. Thanks for your input!

As far as the CF is used as design element it s okay ,for the
Entire case is surely not on my wish list including ceramic,FC, intention with the “anachrony”in this context is referring to the discrepency i feel when these new materials combined with the 300yrs old lever escapement ,like an F1 car w a steam engine. ...
Great bezel, dial... not so much
I was very excited when I found out about the carbon Aquaracer, initially. Then when I found out the case wasn't carbon I was a bit less interested, but then I thought 'okay, the titanium case really keeps the cost down and when it's on the wrist most of ...
