Achieving both sustainability and beauty
The dial design of light-powered watches:
An evolution that’s still unfolding
In order to create a wide range of aesthetically pleasing dials with light-powered cells, we
have put a whole range of technologies to work with materials, vacuum deposition, printing and
etching.
We machine mother-of-pearl dials to a light-permeable thinness and cleverly
exploit light’s refraction index to emit a quasi-metallic lustre.
We recently released
Eco-Drive models that use Tosa washi, a storied brand of traditional Japanese paper, for
their dials.
Ever more uniqueness. Ever more variety.
