Where your watch actually gets worked.
All work is carried out in a dedicated, instrumented plating laboratory rather than the kitchen counter that is so common in the industry. Bath fluid agitation, current density, plating time, part orientation, and well over 50 other variables are strictly controlled for each process, while solution condition and contamination are monitored to maintain consistent deposition. Parts move through defined cleaning, activation, plating, and filtered-rinse stages designed to protect adhesion, colour, and surface finish. Colour is evaluated both by eye under standardized D65 illumination and by a dedicated spectrophotometer that captures the full reflectance curve of the surface. The visual check confirms tone, brightness, and consistency between parts; the instrument catches differences between lighting conditions that no eye can, and logs an objective CIELAB reading for every piece. Coating thickness is held to a process validated by independent XRF, surface durability is demonstrated on camera, and adhesion is checked on a dedicated test bench, with process samples used where destructive testing would not be appropriate on the finished component. Technical elements are measured and controlled rather than assumed.
