These numerals are carved from the dial. Or. Everything that isn't numbers is carved away.

The numerals are sculpted.

The dial is given texture by a very rare technique called "tremblage". The master engraver can spend up to 80 hours on a dial like this.

It's unattainable. So I suppose this qualifies as my Grail watch.😉👑

Sandwich dial could have been option 4, I love those

Engraved is #1. Enamel painted is #2. Applied is #3. Printed is last.

It depends on the style of the watch.

No preference as long as they are legible and they lumed the 💩 out of them!🤣

Moritz Grossman tremblage engraved dial. I think each piece is made to order.

If you do a Google Lens search the Moritz Grossman is pretty much the only watchmaker to offer this.

I'm in love with that watch.👑🌹

Applied indices add more depth to the dial, that is why I like them so much. 🤩

Doesn’t sound like a $500 watch.

Getting it onto my wrist in Canada would be forty thousand at least.

Hence my unattainable. My Grail.

If my son becomes a tech mogul and offered a special gift. This would be it.

I don't buy lottery tickets. So that's out.😎😅

Applied or Recessed.

As a person with over 40 watches, I need to admit that I still don't know what is the difference between the two🤣

While I will usually choose applied, there’s something really special about vintage inspired printed markers. I’ve been digging the simplicity and toolish vibe of a good printed dial
