 Today I spent the day cutting some beautiful natural Tiger Eye slices to be ready for watch dial replacements.In 2008 I made replacement dials for Piaget, Bueche-Girod and ladies Tudor watches.I have also replaced a large Opal stone in a ring where the stone had been broken.
This month I am cutting natural silver Mother of Pearl dials for a customer in the UK
My work is interesting and variable and comes from far and wide.

This month has been quite busy with several enquiries from different countries including the United States, England and Armenia.We have just finished a Lapis Lazuli Dial for an Omega Seamaster watch and a Malachite dial for a  Ladies Piaget watch.Now our extreme weather has cooled a bit. Iam about to cut pairs of opals for earings, which are in demand. I welcome enquiries anytime.

 I have just finished a Lapis Dial for a Bueche-Girod Watch which is for the U.S.I have a ladies Tudor watch , which is having an Opal Dial , I have made several of these and they look stunning.

 With the beginning of Winter approaching here in Adelaide. we are getting a few enquiries for our Watch Dials.particularly for Opal. The mining of opal at Coober Pedy in South Australia is at a standstill but fortunately we have some nice rough Opal for cutting up to 28mm.dials.I welcome any enquiries.

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.
