All the components are finished by machine or left raw. No chemical coloring, no paints, no inks, no varnishes, no glues. What you see is the material itself.
The dial has no galvanic treatment, that electroplating process most watchmakers use to achieve color and shine. It's effective, but it involves chemicals and energy we'd rather avoid. Our dials stay natural, showing the metal as it is.
When we do need color variation, we use PVD coating. It's a physical vapor deposition process with a limited energetic and chemical footprint compared to traditional treatments. And here's something we're particularly careful about : our dials only use unused machine capacity at our local Swiss supplier. They're added to existing production batches, which means no additional resource consumption just for us.
The handmade straps are vegetable-tanned leather. No chromium salts, just natural tannins from bark and plants. Water-based glues are used. It takes longer, costs more, but it's the honest way to do it.
Every chemical treatment we skip, every coating we don't apply, is one less process with an environmental impact. One less thing that can degrade over time.
Naked materials age honestly. They show their wear, they develop patina, they tell the truth about their life on your wrist.
Raw isn't unfinished. It's just honest.
