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 do you prevent dust particles from contaminating skeleton watches?

All skeleton casing is performed in Class 10,000 cleanrooms using anti-static ionized air blowers and microscopic visual audits.

Can you skeletonize custom movement plates for our brand?

Yes. We can CNC-mill custom bridges and custom skeleton rotors according to your proprietary 3D geometry.

Is water resistance compromised in a skeleton watch?

Not at all. With dual sapphire crystals seated in custom viton O-rings, our skeleton watches maintain 5 ATM to 10 ATM sealing.

Can we customize the color of the movement bridges?

Yes. We offer rhodium, yellow gold, rose gold, gunmetal ruthenium, and deep black PVD surface treatments.
