Surface Finishes &
Plating
Surface finish defines the personality of a hand. We offer a full spectrum of treatments -- from mirror polish to matte, PVD to IP plating -- all executed at factory level with consistent batch quality.
Mirror Polish
High-gloss reflective surface achieved through multi-stage polishing. Signature look for dress and luxury-inspired watches.

Directional grain finish that reduces glare while maintaining a refined, contemporary character. Popular for sport and field styles.

Combination of polished and brushed surfaces on a single hand. Adds dimensionality and craftsmanship perception.
PVD Black Coating
Physical Vapour Deposition creates a durable, scratch-resistant black layer. Ideal for tactical, sport, and stealth-aesthetic designs.
IP Gold / Rose Gold
Electroplating with gold or rose gold tones for premium visual warmth. Consistent colour across production batches.
Colour Lacquer
Applied lacquer in any Pantone or RAL reference. Enables bold brand colour expression on hour, minute, and seconds hands.

Special Techniques
Beyond shape and finish, we offer advanced processes that elevate hands from functional components to design statements.
Luminous Treatment
We apply photoluminescent material (lume) to hand cavities for low-light and dark-environment legibility.

Green-white glow. Suitable for sport and field watches.
BGW9 (Blue Lume)
Blue luminous tone commonly used for dive and sport collections.
