Since more than ten 10 years, we are trusted partner of the major Swiss maisons horlogères as specialist in three dimensional, high-precision and creative glass components for mechanical wristwatches, jewellery, as well as high-precision tooling for luxury products. With our vertically integrated service portfolio, including specialty coatings, texturing, pigmentation and surface treatments, we help young organizations and historic timepiece makers to constantly reinvent their concepts with innovative solutions.
Our engineers are trained to answer to your demanding requests and ideas also in French language. Last but not least, we are proud to be awarded twice at the world-renowned EPHJ tradeshow in Geneva, for the Grand Prix des Exposants.
Fused Silica Glass: The modern answer to Sapphire in Luxury Watchmaking
While sapphire remains a hallmark of luxury watchmaking, fused silica glass is redefining what’s possible in high-end timepiece design. This advanced material mirrors sapphire’s brilliance and durability while unlocking unprecedented design freedom. With fused silica, watchmakers achieve micron-level precision in engravings, optical patterns, and microstructures—capabilities that complement sapphire’s legacy with modern innovation. Its ultra-pure transparency rivals traditional sapphire crystals, while specialized treatments like anti-reflective coatings and fluorescent pigments enhance legibility and branding. For brands seeking to balance timeless elegance with cutting-edge technology, fused silica offers a versatile, lightweight foundation for components like dials, hands, and counters, seamlessly integrating into sapphire-driven collections.
Fused silica glass stands as a testament to progress in haute horlogerie, delivering sapphire-level performance with unique advantages. Its exceptional scratch resistance and shock absorption ensure longevity, even in intricate components like movement bridges and date discs. Unlike heavier materials, fused silica reduces mechanical stress on delicate movements, enhancing accuracy over time. Environmentally resilient and chemically inert, it resists yellowing or cloudiness caused by UV exposure—a critical edge for preserving aesthetics. Paired with laser micromachining, fused silica enables rapid prototyping and microproduction runs, empowering brands to innovate boldly while honoring the precision synonymous with Swiss watchmaking.
