High-Quality Etched Watch Dials for Smartwatches & Mechanical Movements 

Product Overview

Xinhaisen specializes in high-precision metal etching for the watch making industry. Our watch dials are crafted with meticulous attention to detail, offering superior flatness, intricate patterns, and exact dimensions. Leveraging our advanced etching technology, we provide watch dials that combine aesthetics with durability, suitable for luxury timepieces, smartwatches, and fashion watches.

What is Chemical Etching?

Chemical etching, also known as photochemical machining, is a precise manufacturing process used to create complex metal parts. Unlike traditional stamping or laser cutting, etching uses chemical solutions to dissolve metal selectively based on a photoresist mask. This process removes metal without mechanical stress, leaving no burrs, heat-affected zones, or micro-cracks, making it the ideal method for producing delicate, high-precision watch dials.

Product Features

• High Precision: Achieves intricate patterns, logos, and cutouts with minimal tolerances.

• Burr-Free & Stress-Free: No mechanical deformation, ensuring a perfectly flat surface essential for watch assembly.

• Ultra-Fine Details: Capable of creating micro-holes and thin lines for indices or decorative elements.

• Material Versatility: Compatible with a wide range of metals including stainless steel, copper, brass, and titanium.

• Consistent Quality: Uniform thickness and edge finish across large production batches.

• Customizable Aesthetics: Supports various surface finishes such as polishing, brushing, plating, or PVD coating.

FAQ

Q1: What is the minimum thickness you can etch for a watch dial?
A: We can etch watch dials as thin as 0.02 mm for lightweight designs, as well as thicker 1.5 mm dials for structured timepieces.

Q2: Can you create very small holes for watch hands?
A: Yes. Our etching process can produce micro-holes as small as 0.03 mm in diameter with high accuracy to ensure smooth mounting of watch hands.

Q3: What materials do you recommend for high-end watch dials?
A: We recommend stainless steel 316L for its corrosion resistance and hypoallergenic properties, or brass for its ease of plating and vintage aesthetic.

Q4: Is there a minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
A: No. We support low-volume prototyping for custom designs as well as high-volume mass production.

Q5: Can you provide finishing services like gold plating or PVD coating?
A: Yes, we offer integrated post-processing services including electroplating, PVD coating, polishing, and brushing to meet the final design requirements.

Q6: How do I get a quote?
A: Simply send your design file (DXF, DWG, or PDF) along with material and thickness requirements to our sales team. We will provide a competitive quote and feedback on manufacturability.
