It’s been a while, folks.
Behind the scenes, we’ve been deep in the weeds refining what most will only ever glance at for a second… the dial. Brass, aluminum, and yes… titanium (the beautifully stubborn one). Finishes, indices, textures, depth. Repeat. Adjust. Repeat again.
We now have over thirty fully painted and lacquered dials across a spectrum of colors, along with electroplated variants and in-house dial foot welding. Each one a small experiment that refused to stay simple.
The road’s been longer than expected. We’ve tested over ten different approaches across mechanical, physical, and adhesive bonding methods (including UV-curable polymer systems). Some worked. Most didn’t. All taught us something.
We’re now officially in prototyping for our proprietary movement spacer anchoring system. Waiting on grey nylon prototypes from an industrial MJF platform, while our 6061-T651 aluminum versions are already in production for final testing and fitment.
On paper, it looks like a small part. In reality, it lives in a world where 0.001” matters… and then reality politely reminds you that ±0.03 is sometimes the game you actually play.
Time, after all, has its own tolerances.
