Case Study
Boutique Swiss Watch Manufacture - Custom Movement Components
Challenge
A Swiss manufacture needed to produce highly complex, one-off gear geometries for a limited edition timepiece. Traditional wire EDM and milling required multiple setup changes and finishing steps.
Solution
Implementation of femtosecond laser processing enabled complete gear manufacturing in a single setup with integrated surface finishing.
Results
- Reduced production time from 8 hours to 45 minutes per component
- Eliminated 3 secondary operations (EDM, milling, polishing)
- Achieved ±1 μm tooth profile accuracy
- Enabled previously impossible asymmetric tooth geometries
- Mirror-finish surfaces directly from laser processing
Enables Compliance With Industry Standards
- Hallmarking standards (varies by country)
- ISO 3157 - Watch cases and accessories
- NIHS Standards (Swiss watchmaking)
- Responsible Jewellery Council certification
