Hello!

I believe this would fall under the fused category, someone please correct me if I’m wrong for future posts!

Here is an enamel watch dial I created! So far I am just working on using opaque Thompson enamels, but my goal is to eventually try my hand at cloisonné and champleve!

One of the biggest constraints for watches is the thickness of the dial… happy accident that I hit 1mm on the dot on this go around :)

Would love to hear your thoughts!

Thanks!

I recently posted on this page showing my Grand Feu Enamel dial. I wanted to let everyone know that my write up is available now to read more about my process!

Thank you and enjoy!

Here is a royal blue enamel dial I made yesterday! I used sifting this time around and it worked great.

Third picture shows how the color of the blue changes so much depending on the light. Enamel in person is really incredible to see.

Last picture is the small seconds wheel from the ST3600 movement. I had to trim it down so it would fit under the dial. Does anyone have any good recommendations for a pin vice or a better way to hold small gears? The one I was using was not great.

Full write up coming soon of my process for making this!

Good morning all!

Here is my second post documenting my journey creating an enamel dial watch brand. This is a shorter post, showing some of the progress I have made getting my workspace ready.

I outline my plans for next week and there's a chance to help pick which color I prototype with next!
