PRECISION MACHINED CUFFLINKS

HollenWolff cufflinks are precision machined from solid bar stock on Swiss watch-making equipment. Known for its hardness, corrosion resistance and corresponding difficulty to machine, we utilize surgical grade 316L stainless steel for the standard material for all our cufflink and shirt stud components, with select bodies also machined in C510 marine grade patinating bronze. More labor-intensive and time-consuming compared to traditional jewelry casting methods, Swiss machining is unmatched with respect to accuracy in higher-integrity materials like these, with tolerances held as low as 5 microns (.0002 in. or .005 mm). Further, it provides unmatched due to trace turning lines that proudly evidence method of manufacture. Why not use brass or softer metals which cut faster and initially look the same? Because these are heirlooms. Our materials provide for superior durability, corrosion resistance and finish that will stand the test of time.

All turned stainless components are passivated and electropolished (by hand for inlaid components) or shot blast with glass beads prior to being coated in a myriad of finishes that, in addition to their beauty, provide maximum resistance to wear and abrasion. All bronze components are furnished in a raw condition, and further will naturally patina over time at various rates dependent on exposure and handling.

Following polishing, coating, and stone inlay as selected, components are intricately assembled by hand. Every set of cufflinks is individually numbered and personalized in three locations as desired through permanent laser marked inscription.

The production time for personalized cufflinks is within seven days, with a selection of our most common combinations available for immediate, expedited shipping.

Altogether, more than 100 operations are required to produce a set of HollenWolff cufflinks. This, in addition to decades of machining experience.

ADJUSTABLE-LENGTH CUFFLINKS

Adjustable-Length cufflinks are capable of being adjusted at any time to either of two comfort settings. These cufflinks are capable of being personalized via laser marked inscription in a recessed diameter on each of four faces.

MECHANICAL CUFFLINKS

HollenWolff bearing-lock cufflinks are modern and more robust adaptations of mechanical designs that were popular in the early twentieth century. They’re engineered for ease of installation and unprecedented security through use of patented pushbutton locking mechanisms. Each set is double-sided with an equal diameter on both sides of the cuff, and comprised of up to twenty-two precision components.

SELF-RETAINING CUFFLINKS

Self-retaining cufflinks are designed to be conveniently installed prior to putting a shirt on, as well as opened or closed as desired during wear without link removal, for example to roll up one’s sleeves. Cufflink sets are available in various sizes (Caliber), with optional stone inlay, and most may be personalized via laser marked inscription on each of four faces.

SHIRT STUDS

Manufactured in the same manner and with the same integrity as our cufflinks, HollenWolff precision machined shirt studs are turned from solid bars of stainless steel and/or patinating bronze on Swiss watch-making equipment. Available in Single-Finish (one-piece) and Dual-Finish (two-piece) designs; they are a perfect complement to HollenWolff cufflinks in respective geometries or with the inclusion of inlaid stone. Shirt Studs are furnished in a Horween Chromexcel leather holster designed to sit inside the mating leather traveler included with the purchase of all HollenWolff cufflinks, and in sets of five as opposed to the industry standard of four. The fifth stud enables accommodation of tall or custom shirting that provides five stud holes, for example on formal shirting to be worn sans cummerbund, or simply serves as a spare if not required.

FINISHES

HollenWolff cufflinks and shirt studs are available in a myriad of finishes, including matte or polished texture and colored coating. All stainless steel components (other than internal springs, bearing balls, and inlay bodies) are electropolished and PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) or DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) finished with ultra-hard zirconium or titanium nitrides for wear resistance and color in an environmentally-friendly process. These processes require a line-of-sight to coat individually fixtured parts, resulting in color evolution in various areas dependent on geometry, further providing depth of character and part individuality. Cufflink bodies and buttons are finished independently, enabling an extensive array of two-toned combinations. Due to inlay process requirements, inlay bodies (where stones are inlaid) will remain polished and uncoated in stainless steel or patinating bronze. All bronze components are intentionally not treated with any preservative to allow for a natural patina to develop over time at rates dependent on exposure and handling.

PRESENTATION

Like the product it encases, HollenWolff packaging is beautiful, highly-engineered, made in the USA, and layered in meaning. Cufflinks and shirt studs are encased in a rich Horween Chromexcel leather traveling case, with studs secured in a holster beneath the cufflinks if included. This resides inside a keepsake leather-belted anodized aluminum housing, numbered to match its set, and personalized laser-inscribed messaging as desired. Finally, all is secured for shipping and presentation inside a renewably-harvested and aromatic red cedar valet.

MAINTENANCE

Clean with mild soap and water for periodic removal of dust and debris. Shake out excess, air dry or blow dry (for example with compressed air) and polish with the included microfiber polishing cloth. Buttons/screws are bonded and mustn’t be removed. As such should spin on the male links in unison with the opposite slotted end outside the ball retainer. If screws are noticeably backing out of links or for any other concern, please contact us for complimentary return, repair, and/or replacement as required. When not in use, cufflinks should be stored in their leather traveling case.
