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.

Procurement Guidance

Frequently Asked Questions

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

What case thickness can be achieved on mechanical dress watches?

By utilizing calibers such as Miyota 9039 or ETA 2892, we routinely achieve complete finished case thicknesses between 8.5 mm and 9.5 mm.

Can we order solid gold or PVD gold plating?

We offer both high-hardness 18K Yellow, Rose, and Champagne Gold PVD plating (0.5 to 1.5 µm), as well as solid 18K gold casing upon request.

What strap options are standard for dress collections?

We manufacture genuine full-grain Italian leather, French calfskin, and suede straps fitted with matching engraved deployant clasps.

Can you produce enamel-effect dials?

Yes. We specialize in grand-feu effect cold enamel and multi-coat high-gloss lacquer dials producing deep porcelain-like luster.
