Made in Glashütte: 7.8. Cleaning the movement plates

Cleanliness is of utmost importance in the manufacture of watches and mechanical movements. Even the smallest dust particles can impair functionality or detract from the aesthetics of the dial. For this reason, movement parts undergo a variety of cleaning processes during the manufacturing process. Cleaning is particularly important before measurement and testing. Otherwise, the results could be severely distorted. This film shows how movement plates, after being fitted with rubies and pins and having the perlage applied, are thoroughly washed and rinsed several times. This also removes any oil and grease residues. The next step, electroplating, then seals the decorated brass surface. This is the only way to ensure that everything remains beautiful for a long time. nomos-glashuette.com #nomos #nomosglashuette #madeinglashuette
