Multi-Arc & Magnetron Sputtering | Premium Gold, Black & Black Chrome Finishes
Transform your timepiece components with our mini Hybrid PVD System – a dedicated, small‑footprint PVD system engineered exclusively for watch cases, bracelets, and straps. Combining Multi‑Arc Ion Plating and Magnetron Sputtering in one versatile platform, it delivers brilliant gold, deep black, and exclusive black chrome decorative coatings with outstanding adhesion, uniformity, and wear resistance. Perfect for in‑house prototyping, small‑batch production, and high‑end custom watchmaking.
| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Dual technology | Multi‑Arc for high‑energy gold (TiN, ZrN) / Magnetron sputtering for ultra‑smooth black & black chrome |
| Ultra‑compact footprint | Fits any workshop or lab – only 1.2 m (W) × 1.0 m (D) × 1.7 m (H) |
| Watch‑specific fixturing | Rotary planetary tooling ensures 360° coverage on complex 3D lugs and bracelet links |
| Fast color change | 4 independent targets (2 Arc + 2 Sputtering) → switch from gold to black in minutes |
| Eco‑friendly | Zero liquid waste, no toxic chemicals – meets global environmental standards |
| Touchscreen control | Recipe‑based operation with real‑time monitoring; 1‑day training for your team |
Main Coatings:
| Color | PVD Process | Properties | Ideal For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gold (TiN, ZrN) | Multi‑Arc | Bright metallic luster, hardness up to 2500 HV, tarnish‑free | Luxury cases, bezels, buckle clasps |
| Black (TiC / TiAlCN) | Magnetron Sputtering | Deep matte/gloss options, fingerprint‑resistant, excellent scratch resistance | Sporty straps, stealth black cases, diver bezels |
| Black Chrome (Cr‑O‑N) | Reactive Sputtering | Ultra‑low reflectivity (<5%), unique dark‑grey/black hue, superior corrosion resistance | High‑end military‑style, avant‑garde watch designs |
Engineered for Watch Manufacturers
-
No edge over‑coating – Optimized bias modulation and fixture rotation eliminate “shadow effects” on sharp lugs and bracelet gaps.
-
Low‑temperature process – Preserves the hardness of stainless steel, titanium, or even brass substrates.
-
Quick maintenance – Target exchange in <10 minutes; shutters included for color transitions without breaking vacuum.
-
Scalable from R&D to production – Same process parameters can be transferred to larger production systems.
Why Choose Our Small‑Footprint PVD System?
Most watch brands struggle with minimum order quantities from large coaters. The mini PVD System empowers you to:
-
Keep intellectual property in‑house (designs never leave your facility).
-
Prototype new color collections weekly.
-
Offer personalized engravings + PVD in one seamless workflow.
-
Achieve ROI within 6–12 months for a small production volume (e.g., 500‑1000 parts/month).
