Surface process
for the watch industry

Industry-specific
requisitions

The production of high-quality watches is one of the most precise and demanding mechanical disciplines. Every component — from axles, pins and wheels to cases and bracelets — must be perfectly manufactured to ensure the exact function of the entire movement.

Surface finishing plays a central role here: the smallest burrs or irregularities can impair the mechanism. The requirements for precision, dimensional accuracy and flawless surface quality in manufacturing are correspondingly high.

Our solutions for the watch industry

Deburring and Polishing for Extremely Smooth Surfaces
‍During chemical deburring, even the smallest edges, corners and hard-to-reach areas are treated evenly and gently — without mechanical stress or the effect of heat. As a result, roughness and surface defects are minimized, which results in significantly higher durability and perfection of the components. Finely rounded edges provide the typical smooth, silky surface of high-quality watch parts.

Higher functionality and brilliance through electropolishing
Electropolishing improves gloss, cleanability, corrosion protection and surface structure at the same time. Sharp-edged or sensitive components can be reliably polished and deburred, giving each workpiece its full technical and aesthetic effect.
