Glass Movement Bridges – Elevating Mechanical Watches Through Transparency

Engineering Precision Meets Aesthetic Brilliance

In the evolution of skeletonized watch design, glass movement bridges are transforming how mechanical beauty is revealed. At FEMTOPRINT, we manufacture high-precision glass bridges using state-of-the-art 3D laser microfabrication, delivering components that enhance both movement visibility and mechanical performance.

Designed for luxury timepieces, our fused silica bridges offer the perfect balance between sleek aesthetics and structural integrity. With micron-level accuracy and outstanding surface quality, they provide a modern, transparent platform that lets the inner workings of a watch become part of its visual identity.

Mechanical Strength with a Transparent Soul

While glass may evoke fragility, FEMTOPRINT’s glass components are engineered for strength and resilience. Our glass bridges maintain the rigidity and precision necessary to ensure flawless gear train alignment, making them fully compatible with high-end mechanical movements.

Each bridge undergoes specialized treatments to achieve:

  • Shock absorption compliant with horological standards
  • Chemical resistance to oils, lubricants, and cleaning agents
  • Dimensional stability across temperature variations

These features guarantee long-term reliability — even in the most demanding environments.

Unleashing Design Freedom for Watchmakers

Whether you’re designing a skeletonized masterpiece or adding a modern twist to a classic caliber, our custom glass bridges bring a unique visual experience to your movement. Their transparent form allows more light and depth to reach the dial, creating a sense of openness and complexity that enhances perceived value.

Our wafer-level production platform ensures scalability, whether you're crafting limited editions or planning large production runs. Fully designed and fabricated in Switzerland, our bridges meet the highest expectations in the industry.

Key Benefits:

  • Enhanced movement visibility for openwork and skeleton watches
  • High-strength fused silica with shock and chemical resistance
  • Scalable, wafer-level fabrication for high-volume manufacturing
  • Swiss-made precision with full traceability
  • Seamless integration into mechanical and hybrid calibers
