Enamel

Enamel

Is a type of artistic finishing that involves applying a glassy coating made from powdered glass mixed with special liquids.

In watchmaking, metal surfaces of the watch are coated with enamel, which is then exposed to high temperatures to ensure the stability of the coating on the coated surface. Enamel coating is used in coating watch dials, hour markers, hands, and other components.

Enamel is used to create dial designs that are resistant to fading and can maintain their vibrant colors for centuries. Enamel dials are often found in high-end and luxury watches because creating them involves a time-consuming and delicate process that requires a high degree of skill.

However, they are also delicate and can crack or chip if not handled carefully.

There are several types of enamel used in watchmaking, including cloisonné, champlevé, flinqué, and grand feu, each with their own unique characteristics and methods of application.
