Glossary

diamond-cut

multi-faceted indexes" describes watch markers (indexes) or hands or other parts that are crafted with multiple angled surfaces, similar to the facets on a diamond. The "diamond-cut" refers to the precise cutting process used to create these facets, which enhances light reflection and gives the markers a sparkling, textured appearance. This technique makes the indexes stand out visually, adding depth and brilliance to the dial. The multi-faceted design ensures that the markers catch and reflect light from different angles, increasing their visibility and aesthetic appeal.
