Métiers d’ART IN HAUTE HORLOGERIE
Their mastery of unparalleled techniques carries a centuries-old tradition, reflected in the creation of unique timepieces.
Thanks to the preserved techniques of our craftsmen—metal engraving, hot enameling, and guilloché—we contribute to the future development of haute horology.
GRAND FEU ENAMEL DIAL TECHNIQUE Our master enamelers recreate the full palette of color interplay through a multi-stage, labor-intensive process, achieving an artistic rendering of the original sketch with filigree precision. Enamel painting requires a high level of professional skill from the artist. Its main distinguishing feature lies in its miniature scale, with works typically ranging from 1–2 to 15 cm in size. In addition, the colors undergo slight changes in hue and intensity during firing, meaning the artist must, to a certain extent, work from imagination. |
HAND ENGRAVING IN HAUTE HORLOGERIE Hand engraving using burins and gravers on metal is one of the rare techniques that is rapidly disappearing. Our master engravers are highly skilled and meticulous in achieving the expression of relief and the finest patterns, where every movement of the tool is deliberate and reveals the individual signature of the craftsman. Thanks to these characteristics, it becomes possible to create a remarkable sense of depth and dimensionality in the imagery. Such techniques are seamlessly woven into haute horology through their beauty and virtuoso execution. |
GUILLOCHE & TRADITIONAL DIAL FINISHING Guilloché masters engrave intricate, flowing patterns in the form of spiral waves and delicate lattices on our dials, using specialized lathes operating with techniques known since the 19th century. Their harmonious craftsmanship results in unique designs, where light refracts and shimmers in a captivating interplay. |
