MEET OUR ARTISANS - Enameler

All the artistic crafts practised within Chopard Manufacture are aimed at embellishing a movement, case or dial and this top-flight artisanship is exercised on the diminutive surface area of watches. While all these skills are fascinating, one almost magical example is known as Grand Feu enameling. How can an Artisan reproduce the beauty of a peony on a luxury watch dial – the quivering of its petals and the subtlety of its colors – using just enamel powder, a little oil, a kiln and a brush? Christophe, Chopard's Enameling Artisan since 2019 and the man behind this miracle of miniaturisation reveals the secrets of this art.
