OUR DIALS | Guilloché Vitreous Enamel
The making of a Rose Engine Turned Guilloché Vitreous Enamel Dial is a manual, time-consuming effort to combine the beauty of centuries-old engraving techniques and vitreous enameling.
Guilloché: Rose-Engine Turning
The decoration produced by a Rose Engine Lathe is called Guilloché. Karl Faberge used the Rose Engine to create his signature decoration, Guilloché Enameling for the fabled Fabergé eggs, for Tsar Alexander III of Russia.
We follow in Fabergé's footsteps by utilizing the same processes with the same commitment to the level of quality for which he was famous.
Vitreous Enamel
Vitreous enamel is a material made by fusing powdered glass to a substrate, in our case .999 Fine Silver, by firing, usually around 1,400 °F. The powder melts, flows, and then hardens to a smooth, durable vitreous coating.
The word "vitreous" comes from the Latin "vitreus", meaning "glassy".
Brawn to Match Beauty
The final vitreous enamel dial is protected by sapphire crystals on both sides and housed in a solid 316L Stainless Steel case polished to a high-gloss finish. Each watch is exclusively powered by top-of-the-line Swiss Sellita movements, meeting COSC Certified Accuracy standards and industry-best D4 finishing.
