The Glass/ Crystal Maker

One thing we don’t often think about when we look at the watch on our wrist is the clear glass or crystal that protects the dial. However, the making of a mineral crystal is an art in and of itself, and it takes a true specialist to be able to form the glass perfectly to fit the case. With a blend of purposeful molding, forming, cutting and heating using a special burning technique, each mineral crystal on certain watches is made individually. Thanks to http://www.awjonlinetv.com/, and http://www.hautehorlogerie.org/, we have the great opportunity to watch a mineral crystal in the making.
