Dial Appliques, commonly referred to as watch dial indices, are the defining elements of a timepiece's face. They provide depth, readability, and a sense of luxury.

This category includes high-precision indices, applied numerals, and custom dial decorations. We leverage advanced metalworking capabilities—including precision milling, diamond cutting, and engraving—to produce components that meet the exacting standards of the Swiss and global watchmaking industry.

Precision Manufacturing Technology

Our production process focuses on micro-engineering to ensure sharp edges and brilliant light reflection:

• Diamond Cutting (Faceting): We utilize diamond-tipped tools to create ultra-sharp, multi-faceted surfaces on watch dial indices. This technique ensures a mirror-like finish (Zaratsu style) that catches light from every angle.
• CNC Precision Milling: For complex shapes, 3D numerals, and logo appliques, our CNC systems operate with tolerances as tight as +/- 0.01mm.
• Surface Treatments: Available finishes include Mirror Polishing, Satin Brushing, Sandblasting, and premium Rhodium or Gold plating.
• Luminous Filling: Precise application of Super-LumiNova for indices requiring night-time visibility (diver and sports watches).

Types of Dial Decorations

We offer customization for various styles and materials (Brass, Stainless Steel, Precious Metals):

• Geometric Indices: Batons, dots, squares, and triangular markers.
• Applied Numerals: Arabic and Roman numerals in flat or curved profiles.
• Logo Appliques: Brand signatures tailored for dial mounting.
• Date Window Frames: High-precision borders (Guichet frames) for calendar displays.

Quality Assurance for Appliques

A superior index must not only look good but also stay secure. Our quality control for Dial Appliques focuses on structural integrity:
