This is the second dial manufacture I have been to now, it is amazing how many dials are not made in house these days.  From walking around them, I think I have seen almost every brand of dial being made, I just don't think the brands have the specialists and techniques to produce all the different types of dials.

It was a really interesting part of the tour and the presentation by Fehr was absolutely fantastic.

Cheers
