Yes, like anthracite. It’s black rhodium coating. And it really looks amazing in person.
This is a coating that you did?
If you mean the coating I do on my dial, then no. It's a different method and I have no possibilities to do it myself. A friend of mine helped me.

Wow, not only for the coating, but everything else of the movement is too-notch clean and polished.
Never thought a Molly could look that precious!!!

Ok, I am in the dark here: what is a trivet? What is the black thing under the cables? Antenna thingy...
A metal/cork/wood item you put between a pot/kettle and table top to prevent damage.

That antenna thingy is a mini camera tripod for a phone. It’s my wife’s....don’t ask me to explain. :think:

The tweeter is completely sealed ,its a Air Motion Transformer ribbon ,its not like the traditional speaker design we all know.
Most use this in open baffle config ,see next to the black box.
so the box in this case is only for positioning and looks ,even though i found when i heard them that they play better in the sealed metal box with some synthetic cotton speaker padding inside,i does not improve the sound of the actual tweeter but cut the diffraction a little . There are nice little things to play and experiment with.
