A customer from the US had a challenge for us: Can you give the titanium case a high gloss finish?!
As you know, we love challenges! So we sat down for a whole day and gave our best to make the case as shiny as possible. So how do you like it?

I didn’t realise that titanium could be mirror polished.. you made it look so easy ! Obviously it isn’t but that’s the mark of your superior craftsmanship!

[@kieserdesign]

Thank you very much for appreciating our work 🙏
Indeed, it is not that easy at all and it took us more than a whole day, since the watch case is quite complex. But we love when the result turns out like this - then it’s all worth it 🙂

Hello@@kieserdesign , Why is it complex because I saw people saying that titanium is very sratch resistant but also that its vickers (the mesurement of resistance I believe) is lower than steel ... I'm quind of lost because that sounds contradicting information but anyway very interesting video, please keep making videos about titanium !

very impressive are you using diamond carbide tools to polish? Im attempting to polish tungsten but its tricky

[@kieserdesign]

Thank you very much for your appreciation of our work. It's always a pleasure for us when another craftsman joins the discussion. Carbide tooling is the way to go when machining titanium and diamond paste for polishing, of course. I can imagine that polishing tungsten is quite a challenging endever. Good luck with it!

Why did you submerge the titanium in the liquid at 1:36 ? Whats the purpose of doing that?

[@anonimis06]

looks like an ultrasonic cleaner. Probably a watch cleaning solution of mineral spirits

[@kieserdesign]

@@anonimis06 Absolutely right! Well spotted ;-) Are you also a watchmaker?

[@anonimis06]

@@kieserdesign nope, just a watch enthusiast

Sicherlich ist Handarbeit teuer und in Deutschland besonderes. Dass Sie 50-100 Uhren im Jahr verkaufen ( bei Ihren Preisvorstellung) überrascht mich.

Es freut mich, dass so viele Menschen meine harte Arbeit wertschätzen, absolut! 🤗
