It is when the brush meets the enamel to produce a dial that every julien Coudray 1518 watch comes to life. The path to this ultimate destination is a school of patience which requires exceptional skills and perseverance. Enamelling is not an exact science, and the vagaries in producing each individual piece are many. It is fire, or rather a temperature of nearly 800 °C, which will reward the enameller’s long hours of concentration and hope. The fusion of the enamel will give rise to the transparency, depth and shine of the colours. The enameller tirelessly reworks their creations until they obtain the desired result. This makes every piece unique.
