of course, other materials are also used to make the 

various parts that comprise the movement.

yet what makes this watch truly outstanding are 

the different treatments applied to these visible 

parts: some are hand-drawn and polished, others 

are anodised (an oxidation process to colour and 

protect aluminium), sapphire-blasted (sandblasted, 

matt surface) or coated with black Pvd to increase 

scratch resistance.
