Is apparently, according to the "watchmakers watchmaker" industry expert on the vostok europe special on ideal world (QVC alike) right now, what PVD stands for

Physical Vapor Deposition - This actually covers a range of vacuum deposition methods, some of which, may involve using powder as the material source. Basically you get the coating source hot in a near vacuum so it evaporates then it will condense out over the target item.
Some of the methods:
Cathodic arc Deposition
Electron Beam PVD
Evaporative Deposition
Pulsed laser Deposition
Sputter Deposition
There is also Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) which results in a similar type coating, but uses chemical reactions to deposit the coating. (DLC is a CVD coating.)
