The Lang & Heyne Georg SHH Special Edition "One of 12" will be available from September 7 onwards at the Sincere Haute Horlogerie salon at Marina Bay Sands Singapore.

THE UNIQUE CERAMIC DIAL

Ceramic dials are made possible due to their pressure-resistant and low specific density characteristics, making them a more complex and durable material than take, for example, enamel.

Combining the silvered main plate with the ceramic reflects our design intention.

The main plate is givree sandblasted and coloured in royal blue using the galvanic process. To make the raw ceramic discs, they first have to be engraved and then cut out with the help of a laser.

This process is a time-consuming one as the edges have to be as clean as possible. 

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTOOne can realize the very fine engraving of up to 0.05mm line width when up close. The dials are made to fit precisely into the base plate's corresponding recess by having the outer contours sanded.

The edges are provided with chamfers which are then also polished, giving the dial a nice, three-dimensional look.

The ceramic's primary material, aluminum oxide, is the same as sapphire, which explains why it can only be processed with diamond tools and diamond pastes.

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTOThe use of high-quality printing ink, known as "Berlac Print," when laying out the engraving by hand allows various colors to be realized on the dial. The dial is then grounded and polished flat on a wooden disc to achieve a high gloss end product.

Two individual ceramic discs must be used as the second dial is lower.

Vulcain turned to the watchmaking entrepreneur Guillaume Laidet to give the brand this fresh inspiration.

He studied the Vulcain models which had simply become collectors' items and identified those watches which would enable history to be brought back to life, and charm lovers of fine vintage mechanical timepieces.

His quest was to awaken the sleeping beauties and he decided to rouse them with the sound of the cricket.
