Exquisite Dial Craftsmanship The dial begins as a solid gold disc, meticulously crafted by four master artisans. It features two traditional techniques: • Guilloché: Using a hand-operated rose engine, artisans engrave a mesmerizing radial pattern that dates back to the 18th century. • Grand Feu Enamel: Applied using champlevé (filling recessed cells) and flinqué (transparent enamel over guilloché) techniques, the enamel is fired at over 800°C to achieve its rich and translucent finish. A unique feature is the counter enamel on the reverse side of the dial, preventing deformation during firing and inscribed with “Guilloché Main, Émail Grand Feu” as a message to future watchmakers.
