Engraving specialist Coralie Mercier, hand-finishing of the dial of Inflection 烁 (Shuò)

For our collaboration with Massena LAB, we worked with engraving specialist Coralie Mercier, whose meticulous hand-finishing brings the dial of Inflection 烁 (Shuò) to life. Using a fine pointed tool and a small hammer, Coralie works across the gold surface, carefully controlling the depth and placement of every mark to create a remarkably uniform texture. A single mistake can render the entire dial unusable. We visited Coralie at her workshop in Switzerland to discover the skill, patience and precision behind her craft, and the hands responsible for some of Shuò's most intricate details. #AtelierWen #MassenaLAB #InflectionShuo #IndependentWatchmaking #Craftsmanship
