HAND FINISHED ROTOR
Each rotor is shaped and finished using traditional techniques. Using special hand-held burnishing tools the edges are cut, smoothed and beveled along the edge at an angle of 45 degrees. After, the bevels are carefully polished by hand with various density pith-wood sticks and diamond paste to create the final mirror polish. Finally the rotor is hand engraved with the logo and dipped in rhodium for the final bright white finish.
HAND POLISHED CASE
Each case is carefully polished and satin brushed by hand to perfection. It is carried out with rotary tool fitted with soft cotton buffing wheels augmented by polishing pastes with fine abrasives. To achieve ideal depth of brilliance at every angle, this process requires a steady hand, an intense attention to detail and many years of experience.
