Discussing DLC: Linde Werdelin Talks About The Hard Black Elemental Watch And Diamond Like Carbon Coating In General
You've probably seen at least something about DLC. You might not know what it is though, and the three letter term might go right past you. That's OK, because DLC is a relatively new addition to a watch maker's arsenal.
