Questions & Answers
ENGRAVING
How long does it take to complete an engraving order?
Products personalised with engraving will be dispatched within 3/5 business days.
What is the difference between plated and un-plated products?
The primary difference between plated and un-plated models lies in their finish and maintenance requirements. Un-plated models are buffed without any additional coating, which allows them to naturally develop a patina over time. This patina gives the product a unique character, but if you prefer the original shine, it can be restored with simple re-polishing. On the other hand, plated and chrome-plated models come with a protective coating that ensures a lasting shine, eliminating the need for regular polishing.
What is the difference between aluminium and brass?
Both aluminium and brass are metals, but they differ in properties and uses:
- Composition: Brass is an alloy primarily made of copper and zinc, while aluminium is a pure elemental metal.
- Weight: Aluminium is lighter than brass.
- Colour: Aluminium has a silvery-white appearance, while brass has a golden-yellow hue.
- Corrosion: Aluminium forms a protective oxide layer making it more resistant to corrosion, while brass can tarnish or corrode, especially in the presence of certain chemicals or moisture.
Can I polish the un-plated metals? What would be the best product to use?
If you decide to polish the metal shell, please don’t forget to remove the leather top before proceeding. Search for a high-quality polishing cream or a toothpaste and a soft cloth.
Tip: the softer the cloth – the better are results.
