Engraving

Is a decorative process that involves carving or etching various patterns and designs onto parts of a watch. It is used to add an artistic and aesthetic touch to components such as the case, strap, buckle, dial, and other parts of the watch.


Special tools such as gravers, hammers, and fine saws are used to create engravings on metal, glass, leather, and other materials used in watchmaking. Different engraving techniques are applied, including deep engraving, fine engraving, diamond engraving, and laser engraving.

Engraving patterns and designs can include lines, geometric shapes, flowers, leaves, animals, logos, or any custom design desired to be added to the watch.
