LUNDIS BLEUS - Color Spectrum Jaune

---

Description

The model Ref.1120-CS "Color Spectrum Jaune" features a dial crafted by hand using the ancestral method of kiln-fired enameling.

This decorative art, with its origin and antiquity shrouded in mystery, involves adorning a metal with colored glasses known as "enamels". Enamels have the property of adhering to certain metals under the influence of heat.

The dial, whose base is made of silver, is covered with a first layer of transparent enamel, followed by a fine sheet of pure gold less than 1/1000 of a millimeter thick.

At this stage, finely ground monochrome yellow enamel is mixed with distilled water, then applied to the gold sheet using a miniature brush. The dial then undergoes the fire test at over 800°C to allow the glass and the metal to fuse. After cooling, a thin layer of vitrified enamel becomes visible.

However, the process of applying enamel and firing must be repeated as many times as necessary to give thickness, intensity, and depth to the color. The work is completed by manually polishing the surface of the enamel, a delicate operation that enhances the enamel and gives it an unparalleled and enduring beauty.

Due to its complexity and the extensive manual work required for each dial, the true art of kiln-fired enameling is rare in watchmaking. This makes it highly regarded in the hearts of connoisseurs and enlightened collectors.
