Mastery in Fine Craftsmanship​

Hand-crafting of safe handles

BUBEN&ZORWEG safe handles are precision-crafted from solid stainless steel, undergoing multiple expert machining steps such as milling, polishing, and brushing to achieve their flawless appearance. Each handle requires a sequence of manual refinements, with individually selected treatments creating a unique tactile and visual finish.

Distinctive variants showcase the artistry behind every handle. The Clous de Paris technique, renowned from fine watchmaking, features a guilloché-like pyramid pattern, with dozens of hand-machined stainless-steel components meticulously assembled and then crowned by precious mother-of-pearl inlays. Lever handle models combine robust construction with elegant proportions, each carefully milled from solid steel and finished by hand through brushing and polishing for perfect geometry and touch. Spectron handles combine the avant-garde design with the artisanal Clous de Paris guilloché pattern, meticulously hand-applied to the stainless steel surface. Premium inlays such as wood or carbon further enhance these exclusive details, demonstrating exceptional manual skill and distinct B&Z aesthetics.

From concept to final assembly, every B&Z handle expresses the brand’s commitment to elevated craftsmanship and distinct design, transforming a functional element into a signature feature.

Hand-crafting of exclusive materials

At BUBEN&ZORWEG, the choice and processing of materials reflect the brand’s commitment to craftsmanship. Nappa leather is carefully selected for its smoothness and richness, then expertly cut and shaped to complement each design. High-quality lacquer finishes involve up to ten meticulous layers, each requiring precise application and long drying times to achieve flawless depth and resilience, and can also be customized with personal motifs.

Carbon and Forged Carbon are created using advanced techniques, yet always receive meticulous manual finishing to accentuate their distinctive textures. Exquisite woods such as Macassar, Ebony Grigio, and Eucalyptus are hand-polished to reveal their individual grain and coloring, providing a warm contrast to the cool precision of metal elements.

Glass and stainless steel are cut with exacting precision and then polished to achieve perfect clarity and brilliance, while carefully selected marble undergoes multi-stage polishing to highlight its natural veining and contribute to the harmonious interplay of materials. Alongside these elements, PVD coatings exemplify refined surface technology: applied through controlled processes, they offer lasting protection and a flawless finish, further elevated by the expertise of specialist craftsmanship.

This devotion to manual refinement at every step ensures that each BUBEN&ZORWEG creation stands as a timeless testament to material excellence and artisanal expertise.
