Coloring process

Once the disc is prepared, the coloring phase begins. The pigment is applied with great care to achieve a uniform color while preserving the material’s natural iridescence. It’s a delicate balance: too much color would risk obscuring the depth of the mother-of-pearl. The process is then carried out progressively until the right balance between color and transparency is achieved.

Smoked finish and protective varnish

To complete the dial, a smoked finish is applied to the edge, creating a progressive fade toward the outside. This process increases readability, allowing the indices and printing to stand out against the iridescent central surface. Finally, the dial is protected with a transparent varnish, which protects the material from UV rays and external agents.
