Horology: Types of Polishing
Berk OztoprakAuthor
Let's talk about the polishing techniques and types that we "usually" see on watch cases and that provide the best appearance on our wrists.
Polishing is a process generally performed to improve the aesthetic appearance and functionality of the metal surfaces of the watch.
What are the types of polishing?
Mirror Polishing
Mirror polishing generally enhances the metal's shine. You'll see the mirror method predominantly on your watch case. Because it enhances the shine aesthetically, it's noticeable in many images. It creates an extremely smooth appearance. However, it also has the disadvantage of being prone to scratching.
Matte Polishing
We often see matte finishes on cases, unlike glossy ones. Watches that combine matte and glossy finishes, in particular, create a very attractive appearance and professional appearance. They also exhibit less reflection.
