Discovering Water Transfer Printing for Watchmaking

Now this is something different that caught our eyes recently and opens the door for extra creativity in watchmaking. This technology of water transfer printing has been used for quite a while already in other industries, but it's the first time we see it applied to watches. Swiss company Tec Arts seen at the recent EPHJ trade fair were showcasing this, but we thought it would be much better to actually see how this worked at their facility.

Not only can you apply paint on some generally complicated shapes, but you can apply any type of design patterns with this process, but the need of a well trained human hand is definitely needed to do so.
