When inspected closely, this type of watch face is really intriguing. The leaves are laser-engraved with great precision and set against a brushed sunray finish, accented by carefully generated tints and shadows that highlight the depth and texture of the motif. A femtosecond laser, which emits a billionth of microsecond laser pulses onto the top of the dial at a high repetition rate, generates the palm fronds. This non-heating technology etches the surface of the dial precisely and selectively, forming patterns that are only a few tenths of a millimeter deep. |
