PoT 2014: Visit at dial-maker Fehr & Cie S.A. (official reports, first installments)
During the PuristS-on-Tour 2014 visit at Hublot and Zenith we were offered to make a tour at specialist dial maker Fehr S.A. in La-Chaux-de-Fonds, a main supplier for Zenith, but also quite a number of other brans including Breguet, Bulgari, Cartier, Officine Panerai, Patek Philippe or Ulysse Nardin. You will find lots of familiar
'faces' in the images.
What makes Fehr a place of particular interest is that the company possesses an impressive range of expertise, from stamped dials to hand guilloched ones, silvered to coloured ones, mother-of-pearl and diamond-set pieces.
Following the link below you'll be directed to the first two instalments of our comprehensive report:
We would like to express our gratitude to the craftsmen and -ladies at Fehr S.A., as well as the management of Fehr and Zenith for making this educative and intense visit happen.
Thus, happy watching - we are sure you'll find something of interest for you!
Cheers,
Magnus & Elio

Dial making is...
.. well, one of the most important task for the watch. In-house is the trend, but these specialized parts makers should survive as their skill is "heritage"... Thanks, Magnus! Ken
I think they will always be there...
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 ...
