Machining, engraving, setting and marquetry are just some of the trades we orchestrate to produce exclusive creations.
United to sublimate motif and form, we create unique dials and casings.
The ” art craft ” dial is a component that perfectly illustrates this complexity of design and manufacture.
This is where we have to excel, by putting into practice our various métiers d’art, which have enabled us, for example, to create magnificent dials entirely inlaid with onyx, jasper, mother-of-pearl, opal, hematite and various other precious stones…
As well as diamond-set dials and padlocks, cigar buckles and guilloché pen caps.
Exceptional craftsmanship demands a high degree of creativity, allowing unlimited expression.
Guilloche is a true art. The action of guilloché ” consists in finely engraving a matrix of curved and straight lines” in order to create exquisite patterns. This technique is reserved for exceptional watch brands.
Stone setting is a technique for fixing diamonds and precious stones to a metalic surface. This meticulous and highly technical artform is carried out by our most experienced craftsmen.
