Business has been quiet , but we are looking to buying medium to high grade watches to refurbish with gemstone dials.This month we have made 2 lapis Dials for mens watches and also a created opal dial for a mens watch. Please contact me for any queries you may have.
Many watch enthusiasts are looking to repairing and changing the dials in their watches. Due to the economic situation,it is cheaper to add a new dial than buy an expensive watch.At present I am working on Lapis Lazuli dials and also making an Abalone dial for a client, I will add a picture of it to my website shortly. If you have any queries please let me know.
We have had several enquiries the last 6 weeks, particularly for pearl shell Dials.
Icut my own slabs of Mother of Pearl so I get the best quality for my Dials.
Several of the Dials I have made are for enthusiasts looking to give their watches a lift.
We are making custom dials for Vintage watches as well as for the modern watch.
All enquiries are welcome from the Designer, watchmaker and Enthusiast.A Very Happy Christmas and Healthy New Year To All.
Welcome to 2010. It has been reasonably busy since Christmas.
One question I have been asked several times, How do you position the feet on the dial?
What happens is that our customer sends the Dial from the watch and I make a copy of the Dial in brass,fit the feet to the brass plate and adhere the gemstone on to that, so the customer gets two dials, the gemstone plus the original.
Very busy month so far. Two Bueche-Girod Dials in Black M.O.P.and two lapis lazuli Dials for a 1970 Longines. I cut all my gemstones slices for my Dials which takes almost a full day for preparation and the cutting.
Malachite is one of the most frustrating stones to cut because of its structure and tendency to fracture, however once cut it is stable and a lovely stone to work with making superb watch Dials.
We have just bought some magnificent Malachite for anyone looking out for a new dial.I can always scan slices off for your perusal once I have done the cut.Have just made a Tiger Eye Dial for a Bueche Girod Dial. I have been working on a few Rado dials in Tiger Eye and Lapis Lazuli.I am hoping to experiment with other unusual materials soon.We send most of dials off to the United States for printing, they do a very nice job and have facilities for printing for most types of watc. Please keep sending in your queries. |
