Bearer issues one object in six finishes. No app to be the real product, no tiers of the same plastic in different colours. A card is milled from a billet, brushed, engine-turned and tipped — and the whole of this page is the paperwork that follows it.
Request the specimen sheetSix faces turning. Drag it, or use the arrow keys.
The card on the drum is drawn at the same ratio, and its edge is 0.76 mm at that scale — which is why the metal you can see on the turn is three pixels and not a rounder number.
| Finish | Metal | Surface | Mass |
|---|
Every face on the drum is drawn where you are reading it — the engine-turning under each one is a rose curve plotted at load, with different parameters per card, so no two patterns repeat. Choose a row and the drum turns to it.
The body is cut from one piece, not laminated from layers. It is the operation that decides the sound the card makes when you set it down.
The guilloché is cut by a machine following a rosette, the same way a banknote plate is. Change the rosette and the pattern changes with it.
The number is pressed into the metal and the raised face is foiled. Printing it would be one operation cheaper and you would feel the difference with a thumb.
