Patina
Definition
Patina is a captivating phenomenon that tells the story of a watch over time. As a collector, I value patina for its ability to give each piece uniqueness and character. It naturally forms on materials like bronze and brass, creating an oxidized surface that can range from green to brown. This aging process not only adds aesthetic value but also influences strap choices, as a well-matched strap can enhance the beauty of the patina. In my watches, patina is a sign of authenticity and life, an element that makes each piece unique. For straps, I recommend natural materials that complement the aged look of the patina.
