The art of enamel dial making today
Currently, the predominant manufacturer of multi level enamel watch dials is Donzé Cadrans located in Le Locle Switzerland. It's a small company, run by Francine Donzé and her husband Michel Vermot and their artistry is, to my eyes, stunning. Take a look for yourself. These images are of wrist watch dials but the subject of enamel watch dials will gain most interest from pocket watch people, so that's why I posted it here first.

Paul,

Someone had posted the website link earlier but it looks like it was deleted. So HERE it is again.

William, I took the link down as I thought what you had put up was a duplicate and as this was your post I did not necessarily want to poke my nose where it did not belong.

Quite amazing! I have a feeling that it might be kind of difficult finding such machinery.
