Black metal surfaces

G’day; Anyone interested in blackening any metals from copper to
platinum might like to click on the URL below. But don’t get your
hopes too high as the equipment being used is experimental at
present, and would undoubtedly cost two arms, two legs and your
firstborn!!

Very interesting article John. How about a pitch black platinum
cased watch that powers itself with solar energy hitting the case

Citizen watches already has something like that. But it’s the face
which is black (and or White) and it’s a solar cell. Any light
hitting the watch powers it. It also has an internal battery which
keeps it going at night. I have had mine for 2 years with no loss of
power.
