The Micronarc Alpine Meeting carries on, this morning after seeing the way to produce chips, we discovered that actually the microsystems directly benefits from the watch industry know-how. Let’s see how.

Obviously parts can be done by different technologies and if dry etching is good enough to produce electronic parts, it can also be used to do something else, for instance parts for the watch industry. With the technology, we can then produce new parts that would have been impossible to machine with classical technology.
Advantages
But then these parts are integrated into microtechnology assemblies. The Micronarc area is specialized in such jobs. There are a lot of potential of synergies in Switzerland. Some watch manufacturers are already benefiting from this technology.

Next we discovered how to manufacture micro precision parts by UV-Liga presented by Mimotec with Dr. Grégoire Genolet… I’ll come back on this technology in another post, it’s a very promising technology.

Baselworld just closed its door and soon EPHJ will open. Both are dedicated to watch industry... Many people often equate passion with foolishness and, yes that’s possible sometimes. But in our industrial world, passion equates often with rare bird, pressure, precision and delivery. In order to realize next issue that will be released for EPMT/EPHJ in Lausanne (Switzerland), I’ve had the opportunity to meet up with passionate owners and CEOs of companies working all or part for the watch (…)
The mechanical watch is returning to a position of importance alongside the quartz watch, the latter equipped with fully electronic movements and display. As for mechanical watches, they comprise traditional parts and movements, in the most noble sense of the term. The principle actually has not really changed since the invention of watch movements which tell the time. The same cannot be said for production techniques which, always evolving, no longer have much in common with past methods. (…)
