One of them is a milling machine(miniature bits) which is water-cooled!

Fortunately no one gives a fuck what you think!

It's a trademark issue, and yea I think so, but I'm not a lawyer. A trademark is the style of a brand or logo so a customer can be sure about who or what or where product is from/made by. Thus Rolex has their crown, yema has their stylized "y" logo, etc. Intellectual property is for ideas, like star trek. I dunno about copyright, I learned the above from legal eagle's breakdown of the open game license controversy.

As long as you are modifying your own watch, there are no copyright issues. You have the right to alter your personal property.

​@@luiginicaThe Rolex crown logo is a protected trademark you can do whatever you like to your watches but you can't use their Name and Logos on your fake knockoff like those Chinese clones that flagrantly flout Intellectual Property rights

The wires are not soldered, they are held in place with a thin coat of glass enamel on the metal of the dial. The wires get fixed as the enamel melts when placed in the kiln at high temperature.

@@silverglass6635how long does the enamel stay ‘liquid’ enough for the wires to get embedded and stay up? And does that mean they have to constantly reheat the dial as they work on constructing the whole design?

@@johnking168 this is the process: start with a copper, silver or gold base (sheet). Sprinkle (sift) a light coat of powdered glass enamel. Fire in a kiln (800 C or around 1470 F), the enamel will melt and attach to the metal. Let it cool down. Bend all the wires according to the design shape. Attach the wires to the cold metal base using glue (plant based glue in water). Let the glue dry, the wires will temporarily attach to the metal base. Fire again, when the light coat of enamel melts again it will grab the wires and attach permanently to the metal base. Let cool down. Fill all the spaces formed by the wires with the different colored powdered glass enamel (enamel mixed with water). Let dry. Fire again. Cool down. Repeat the process until the spaces are filled with enamel, sometimes up to ten or more times depending on your design. If you make a mistake the whole thing may be ruined and you have to start all over again. That’s why enamel of high quality is so expensive.

The standard thickness of dials is 0.4mm but enameled dials are thicker, I would guess these dials are about 1 to 2 mm thick. In order to fit the thicker dials you have to modify the movement and/or the movement holder of the watch.

Hi Ara. We would love to discuss the process in more detail with you. The best way to reach someone knowledgeable about this is via our contact page: ematelier.watch/pages/contact-us Thanks!
