Irreproachable level of finishing quality

In the watch-making industry, each moving part has a function to fulfil and must have the least possible roughness in order to reduce the friction to a minimum.
MIMETAL technology enables us to attain these demanding finishing levels:

  • Surface quality in functional areas:
    Ra < 20nm
  • Visual aspect:  “Poli-mirror”
  • Friction coefficient drastically reduced
  •  

Matt finish / Lapping lines

Matt finish / Diminished lapping lines

Shiny finish / Lapping lines greatly diminished


Polished finish / Smooth and homogeneous

Fine polished one the galvanic side. / Polished aspect with micro-strips.
