PROGRAM
- Wear of excess material
In this first approach, imperfections are removed that sometimes result from boxes built using CNC techniques or resulting from parts used by end users but with many imperfections resulting from use.
- Sandblasting Technique
This is a technique that consists of projecting sand, or pearls of other materials with the aim of producing a specific finish.
- Matte ( Satinage )
The matting technique is a polishing technique in which special brushes are used to produce a matte effect.
- Edge preparation
At this stage, the edges will be prepared by polishing the material.
- Edge polishing
Once the edges have been defined, you can choose to polish them. This process is quite delicate and follows a set of very specific rules.
- Edge finishing
The edges can be brushed, polished or matted. These different techniques are practiced at this stage.
- Final matting/polishing
Metal cases or bracelets can be matte or polished. These different techniques are practiced at this stage.
- Ultrasonic washing
Ultrasonic cleaning is the best way to remove debris caused by the finish. You will learn the best techniques and learn about the best products and times needed to achieve the desired result.
Supplementary techniques:
- Brushed (Round rasp; Belt sandpaper)
In addition to polishing and matting, it is possible to create brushed finishes, with greater or lesser precision. The techniques required to achieve different levels of precision will be taught.
- Sun
This is a very specific technique, usually applied to the back of watches. To apply this technique, it is necessary to use specific tools with the help of a lapidary machine. You will learn the techniques necessary to achieve a Solielle finish.
