Glass Watch Wheels – Precision Engineering for Swiss Movements

In the quest for perfect mechanical harmony, glass watch wheels are setting a new standard in precision horology. At FEMTOPRINT, we produce high-precision microfabricated wheels that combine lightweight performance, wear resistance, and micron-level alignment, offering a cutting-edge alternative to traditional wheel components.

Crafted from fused silica using advanced laser micromachining, our wheels ensure smooth rotational dynamics and optimized gear interaction, resulting in enhanced movement efficiency and prolonged mechanical stability — all without compromising aesthetic elegance.

Engineered for Performance, Designed for Innovation

FEMTOPRINT’s glass wheels are custom-made to meet the highest demands of Swiss watchmaking, delivering:

  • Ultra-high precision for gear alignment
  • Shock-resistance and structural integrity
  • Minimal mass for reduced energy load and smoother escapement performance

Unlike metals or polymers, fused silica wheels maintain shape under thermal and mechanical stress, guaranteeing long-term consistency in performance. This makes them ideal for high-frequency movements, tourbillons, and complications where micro-tolerances are critical.

Aesthetic & Functional Customization

Beyond function, our glass wheels offer visual refinement and branding opportunities. We enable:

  • Micro-engraved markings (logos, references, serials)
  • Optical textures that add depth and contrast
  • Functional coatings to improve visibility and reduce reflection

This seamless blend of technical superiority and design freedom empowers watchmakers to create truly differentiated products — technically advanced and visually striking.

Key Benefits:

  • Micron-level laser machining for flawless gear alignment
  • Shock-resistant and ultra-light fused silica for reduced inertia
  • Full compatibility with sapphire and metal movement parts
  • Custom surface treatments for enhanced functionality and branding
  • 100% Swiss-made quality and traceability

Let’s revolutionize your next movement with cutting-edge glass wheels.
