Minute Repeater Dial
June 25, 2026
The new Model 4 dial is a hand guilloched silver with 3 patterns, 18k gold angular chapter rings with pad printed markers, and 18k gold hands and hour indices.
The hand guilloche uses a new pattern in the center and required manufacturing the pattern bar and touch piece, and a day of experimentation to get the correct geometry.
The chapter rings were machined, circular grained on a lathe, and then pad printed on our custom built pad printer. This also required making a new cliche for the pad printer. The chapter rings are angular (not flat), meaning that the inside diameter has a height of 0.25 mm whereas the outside diameter has a height of 0.4 mm. This improves the reflection in the light and creates a more dramatic 3D appearance to the dial.
The hands and indices were milled in 18k gold and then hand shaped and polished.
Finally, everything was assembled and the result is striking.
