KX. Any more info on how black polish is done and achieved?
Blued screws are heated to achieve varying levels of blue. How is black achieved?
True black polishing
is done with diamond paste on a plate of metal (zinc I think). The part is held in a vice and polished on the plate by hand in a circular-ish motion until the surface is perfectly smooth, and thus black at certain angles. It also can be done mechanically....
Woah...
.... the ultimate porn.... Thanks SJX! Not only are the photos breathtaking, it's very informative for people like me that's not so technical too!

Thanks for your explanations/pics. So nice pics shouldn´t be allowed. Best Regards

GO has lost its only in-house engraver and not going to replace with one?
Exactly.
I knew from a member of a Brazilian watch community, who visited GO at the beginning of June, that the balance cocks engravings are being commissioned to a professional in Dresden since the manufacture's engraver left around eight months ago.
This further reinforces my admiration for ALS.
Few manufacturers are able to impress with such magnification of movement parts. Seeing is believing!
Thanks for the technics description SJX !
Always nice to learn more about craftmanship technics.
