Plastic injection parts

Thanks to our computer numeric control (CNC) electrical discharge (EDM) machines, what was impossible to produce in the past is now possible! It is now easy to machine extremely intricate shapes, making it possible for us to respond to a wide range of customer requests.

CASING RINGS

Casing rings are mainly injected using Grilamid (PA 12). This material provides high rigidity and enables the insertion of flexible suspension bridges. They hold the movement in place and absorb shocks that the watch could suffer. All colours are available.

The tooling costs, for a standard casing ring, without complication, is less than CHF 3'000.-. It is guaranteed for about 500'000 parts. In the costs are included :

Tooling design
Tooling manufacturing
