Super.

I have the pleasure to work with her for some amazing dial project. Sensibility, professionnalism, perfectionism is some of her quality. She is one of the reference in watch métiers d'art realisation. Lot of watch brands were inspired by is art.

I like shields Anita for the company Jaquet Droz.

 

 

Guilloche can do. I do not know how to cut the paillonnée ??

 

 

 the little gold paillons that are there  are almost impossible to find . She is a nice person. I had found some of my old colors in the attics, I found her  phone number on the web and called her in Swisserland about  it and she took the time to answer gently. Not only she is a great artist but she is a great technician and  very simple  and sympathetic

Regarding the paillons I had read somewhere that she used some old stock that she had recovered but the way they had been made was kind of lost. But I think there's one company (website here: http://www.emaillor.com/e/index.htm) which has figured out how to produce them.

thanks for the link , very interesting.
too bad they  don't sell the paillons
