Abstract (en)

[origin: CA2005218A1] METHOD OF MANUFACTURE OF A COPPER WATCH CASE The method of manufacture of this watch case consists in employing a material including at least 95% copper in its composition, the remainder being made up of elements adapted to increase the mechanical strength of the copper whilst avoiding the toxic elements beryllium and cadmium. Thanks to this material the watch case may be stamped out in a single operation, hardened, then covered with a protective layer deposited galvanically or by a PVD process.
