Hi there,
I am new to this forum and was asked to show some watches I am making, not only pens.
Here you see a selection of dress watches with dials made in various urushi techniques.
The watch cases were made in 1.4435Ncu "Stybrire" steel on hand operated milling machine and lathe. The watch back is decorated with a hand engraved gild silver medallion. The movements are historical hand-winding movements manufactured by the "Fabrique d'Horlogerie Fontainemelon" in 1955. The caliber is FHF 96, 18'000A/h, 17 jewels, 48 hours power reserve.
The 1950s to 1970s were called the "golden Era of Swiss watchmaking" because in these years movements of superieur quality were produced, quality in terms of longevity, reliability and accuracy.
Dials:
1st Tsugaru-Nuri (experimental Technique)
2nd Guilloche on black Roiro-Urushi
3rd Ishimeji (stone surface)
4th Guri (engraved urushi)
5th Roiro-Shiage (mirror polished black urushi)
6th Chinkin (engraved and filled with finest gold powder)
7th Sparkling Nashiji (nashiji-Nuri made by sprinkling diamond powder into black urushi
