HISTORY

1980

INTRODUCTION OF PVD TO THE WATCHMAKING SECTOR

Watchmaking has been interested in PVD treatment since the early 1980s. Both functional and aesthetic, the first black treatments on watch cases gave the watch products a more technical look, offering an alternative to conventional materials such as steel, gold or platinum.

DEVELOPMENT OF ALD SOLUTIONS

In order to provide ever more innovative solutions to its customers, and also to address certain issues limiting use of PVD, POSITIVE COATING took an interest in ALD (Atomic Layer Deposit) solutions.

By combining these two technologies, it was able to meet the lack of color stability and homogeneity, and significantly expand the number of colors available.
