  • TIMEPIECE DIAL WHOSE MATERIAL IS A LIGHT ALLOY
    Publication number: 20190391533
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a one-piece timepiece dial assembly made of light alloy includes making, in a first assembled state, a dial including a flange whose material is a first light alloy, including opposite to the first side of a display area visible to a user, at least one foot for attachment to the dial. The flange includes at least one receiving area complementary to an end area of at least one foot which is a weldable foot that can be welded or brazed to the flange at the interface between the receiving area and the end area. The weldable foot is made of material that is the first light alloy or a second light alloy that can be welded or brazed to the first light alloy. The method further includes irreversibly assembling by welding or brazing at least one weldable foot to the flange.
