In the world of haute horlogerie, counters and sub-dials are more than functional elements—they are a design language of their own, shaping the character and rhythm of a watch face. At FEMTOPRINT we manufacture high-precision glass counters in BF33 and fused silica, combining exceptional optical clarity with micron-level detailing to redefine how complications are both perceived and experienced.
Engineering Precision, Aesthetic Freedom
Our laser-microfabricated glass counters offer a refined alternative to traditional materials. They introduce lightweight transparency, engraved detailing, and custom textures that bring depth, contrast, and elegance to sub-dials. Surfaces can be fully polished for luminous clarity, or alternate between polished and matte finishes for striking aesthetic effects and improved readability.
Designed for Customization
Thanks to FEMTOPRINT’s proprietary 3D laser microfabrication, our glass counters can feature:
Specialized treatments such as anti-reflective coatings, polarization effects, or fluorescent highlights enhance legibility while adding signature design accents. Both BF33 and fused silica are chemically stable and UV-resistant, ensuring long-lasting brilliance and dimensional stability.
Swiss Precision Meets Creative Possibility
Transparent counters and sub-dials allow for layered visual effects, particularly in open-worked or skeletonized designs, where they add depth and modern refinement. Whether you envision minimalist clarity or ornate detailing, FEMTOPRINT provides the design freedom and precision to transform functional sub-dials into iconic focal points.
