Enamel, a glass-like material created from silica and other compounds!


Enamel, a glass-like material created from silica and other compounds, has been enchanting watchmakers for centuries. In fact, the first use of the material dates back to 1300 BC in ancient Greece.
Creating an enamelled dial is an art form — crushing raw glass, layering it on metal, and firing it in a kiln, all while keeping dust and imperfections at bay. Furthermore, enamelling techniques such as cloisonné and champlevé breathes life into timepieces. In today’s world of mass production, enamelled dials are a rare speciality, produced by a handful of artisans who understand the dance of heat and colour — a true hallmark of horology that elevates any wrist it adorns.
