More information
Cloisonné dials are always individual handcrafted creations and, thanks to their brightness and rich gloss, watches with enamel dials are among the most desired of all brands.

The present model in particular with a unique dial, with yellow gold case keeps the warm tones of gold that envelop South America

Creating a cloisonné enamel dial requires extreme skill, precision and talent. The artist immediately draws the outline of the motifs using a thin gold thread to separate the various regions of enamel, at this point more layers of enamel are applied depending on the desired colors, followed by different types of firing in the oven that serve to intensify the effects that will be created through the color, light and gradation of the enamel.

A process of maximum accuracy, since at each firing the dial could break, or the enamel could react differently to heat, resulting in high waste rates.
