Manufacturing Protocol

Precision Production Workflow

From technical CAD validation to cleanroom quality inspection, our engineering workflow ensures strict repeatability.

PHASE 01

Engineering DFM & Blueprints

Our engineers inspect your 3D CAD files or reference samples to optimize wall thicknesses, gasket compression tolerances, and tooling paths. Comprehensive manufacturing blueprints are delivered for review.

PHASE 02

Master Prototyping & Testing

First-article prototypes are machined via 5-axis CNC and assembled in our cleanroom. Each prototype undergoes dimensional verification, dry vacuum and hydrostatic water testing, and hand fitment audits.

PHASE 03

Precision CNC Machining & Finishing

Batch manufacturing utilizes multi-axis Japanese CNC equipment, robotic surface polishing, and master hand-applied satin graining. Components undergo strict optical inspection before movement casing.

PHASE 04

Class 10,000 Cleanroom Assembly & QC

All watch casing and critical sub-assembly takes place in ISO 14644 Class 10,000 cleanrooms to eliminate airborne dust. Every completed piece passes 48-hour mechanical timing and dual pressure tests.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common technical and commercial questions regarding custom horology manufacturing and private label supply.

How are dial feet positioned to match our movement?

Dial feet are welded using coordinate-controlled capacitive discharge equipment, perfectly aligned to movement technical drawings (such as Seiko NH or Sellita SW).

Can you apply 3D applied metal indices?

Yes. We manufacture diamond-cut brass indices with tiny retention pins that pass through the dial plate and are riveted securely from the underside.

What lume grades do you offer?

We use genuine Swiss Super-LumiNova in all standard grades (C1, C3, BGW9, Old Radium) and can achieve multi-color dial luminescent combinations.

What is the minimum order quantity for custom dials?

Typical batch production starts at 300 pieces, which can be split across 2 to 3 color executions with identical index tooling.
