Islandus 45 Years Anniversary assembly.
Sigurdur Gilbertsson
This week we have been working on our Islandus 45 Years Anniversary Edition here in our Reykjavik Workshop. The following photos where taken of our Technical Director Sigurdur Gilbertsson during his assembly of watch No. 21.
The photos show the process from: movement assembly, dial fitting, thermal bluing of hands, hand setting, accuracy testing and final casing of movement.
Cold Forging 316L Stainless Steel
Sigurdur Gilbertsson
Our watch cases are created from Cold-Forged 316L Stainless Steel, an alloy that is amazingly corrosion resistant. Cold-Forging also makes our cases up to 80 percent harder and reduces impurities.
After the Cold-Forging the case bodies, bezels and case backs are milled, drilled and turned on highly accurate CNC machines.
They are then polished by hand to either a mirror finish or brushed to a silky-matt finish like shown on the SIF - NART case below.
Hand Setting
Sigurdur Gilbertsson
After a full week of assembly work we are looking forward to the weekend! This photo was taken yesterday while working on setting hands on our 101 collection.
Enjoy your weekend ! :)
