Watches and timepieces analysis, testing and expertise in Laboratory
The 6NAPSE Group can test and analyze watches and timepieces through compliance check services and laboratory tests.
Laboratory expertise for Watchmaking
The Luxury Industry, and in particular the Watchmaking Industry, has always been in search of innovation and quality. Large houses, manufacturers or subcontractors are subject to common requirements and criteria to produce high-end products.
From design, R&D, to industrial production, through materials control or environmental testing on the product or transport testing on its packaging: nothing should be left to chance.
The 6NAPSE Group supports manufacturers throughout the entire watch life cycle.
Watches and timepieces analysis
Check the compliance of materials and the content of precious metals
- Chemical analysis
- Precious metals analysis: gold, silver, platinum content
- Characterization of materials: leathers, polymers, metals, ceramics, composites
- Surface analysis
- Powder analysis
- Glass analysis
- Mechanical characterization (hardness measurement)
- Elemental impurities analysis: search and dosage of impurities
- Identification of pollution (MEBEDX, spectroscopy and infrared microscopy)
- Material control
Testing and simulation
