Where Art Begins
The engraving process begins, creating the textured surface needed for enamelling.
Grand Feu enamelling is an exquisite, demanding art. Layers of enamel are applied to silver plates and fired at over 800°C, with each firing and polishing requiring absolute precision. Metallic oxides create vibrant hues—deep blues, luminous gold—shaped by composition and heat. Few master this ancient craft, producing dials of unmatched beauty and durability. Every piece, forged in fire, emerges unique.
Carving a simple straight line from the center of the silver dial, each piece features approximately 700 hand-engraved lines by Artisan Qin. Spending 4 hours crafting the precise Flare textures before enamelling, he creates a design that interacts beautifully with transparent enamel colors.
The inspiration behind Pattern Flare:
The pattern mesmerizes the effect of an underwater flare—where light dances and refracts through the depths, creating a dynamic interplay of light, shadow, and color. This subtle yet striking design elevates the dial into a captivating work of art, blending minimalism with depth and movement, and transforming it into a timeless reflection of artistry and precision.
Moonstone
Inspired by the gemstone’s ethereal glow - a milky translucence kissed by moonlight - the Moonstone dial evokes vintage elegance. Its subtle, billowy texture pays homage to Victorian-era jewelry, mirroring the delicate allure of a 19th-century pendant where moonstone once symbolized mystery and intuition.

The engraving process begins, creating the textured surface needed for enamelling.
700 lines are meticulously hand engraved by our artisan Qin. The process is highly labor intensive, which requires unwavering focus and steady hands. Each silver dial embodies a timeless connection between art and craftsmanship.
The artisan carefully applies grand feu enamel to the engraved silver dial, a process that may require up to eight layers.
As the dial is fired in the kiln at 800 degrees Celsius, the enamel layers meld together, creating a stunning, glass-like surface. This step is where the dial’s brilliance is truly born.
After firing and cooling, each enamel dial will be hand polished to even the surface and unveil the final result.
Held under careful scrutiny, the polished enamel dial undergoes its final inspection. This step ensures that every detail, from the engraving to the enamel’s finish, is nothing short of extraordinary.
The dial receives its final details through pad printing, with numerals and indices applied in perfect alignment. This step ensures the dial is both aesthetically pleasing and easy to read.
The hand undergoes a transformation as it is heated to a rich blue color. This step highlights the artistry and precision behind every detail of the timepiece.
The completed watch is examined, ensuring every detail - from the enamel dial to the polished case - is crafted with care and attention.
