Abstract: A method of manufacturing a watch component according to the present disclosure is a method of manufacturing a watch component that includes a decorative region at a front surface thereof. The method includes sequentially irradiating the decorative region with laser light to draw, in a superimposed manner, a plurality of decorative patterns constituted by a plurality of lines. At least one of the decorative patterns is constituted by the plurality of lines arranged at intervals in a range of 80% to 200% of a spot diameter of the laser light, at least one of the plurality of lines including a curved portion.

Abstract: A method for decorating a dial includes deeply digging and forming a first groove by repeatedly scanning, in a predetermined scanning direction, a place where laser light is applied to a base material. In the scanning, a depth of the first groove is controlled by the number of irradiation times that the laser light is applied. An area where a depth of the first groove is shallow and an area where a depth of the first groove is deep are present according to the number of irradiation times.

Abstract: A manufacturing method includes a first repeating step of irradiating a base material with a pulse laser, having a spot diameter S, while relatively moving a laser head and the base material in a first direction, moving the laser head by a predetermined pitch width P in a second direction that intersects the first direction, and repeating irradiation by the pulse laser along the first direction and movement of the laser head in the second direction, and a second repeating step of irradiating the base material with the pulse laser while relatively moving the laser head and the base material in the second direction, moving the laser head by the pitch width in the first direction, and repeating irradiation by the pulse laser along the second direction and movement of the laser head in the first direction, wherein S<P<100 ?m.

Abstract: A dial includes a recessed portion formed by laser irradiation, and a decorative portion formed at a bottom surface of the recessed portion by laser irradiation, including a first groove extending in a first direction, and a second groove extending in a second direction intersecting the first direction, and including a plurality of protruding portions provided in a region partitioned by a plurality of the first grooves, and a plurality of the second grooves.

Abstract: A watch part includes a substrate and a multilayer film covering at least a part of the substrate, wherein a plurality of recesses are formed at a surface of the substrate facing the multilayer film, and in a cross-sectional view of the substrate taken in a thickness direction thereof, each of the plurality of recesses is defined by a first side and a second side that is inclined with respect to the first side and meets the first side.

Abstract: A watch component includes a base material including a first region having a surface at which a plurality of recessed portions are formed and a second region having a smooth surface, and a multilayer film configured to cover at least a portion of the base material. When viewed in a cross-sectional view taken along a thickness direction of the base material, the plurality of recessed portions are defined by a first side and a second side that is tilted with respect to the first side and is in contact with the first side at an end portion, and a hue angle of the first region is greater than a hue angle of the second region.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a timepiece component includes: forming a first processed surface having a predetermined pattern by irradiating a surface of a receiving plate with a femtosecond laser; and forming a second processed surface having a surface roughness smaller than that of the first processed surface by irradiating at least a part of the first processed surface with a nanosecond laser.

Abstract: Provided is a decorating method for decorating a metal component by laser irradiation. The method includes performing laser irradiation while scanning, with a first element as a starting point, along a direction toward the metal component, and an oxide film is formed on the front surface of the metal component by the laser irradiation.
