Laser labelling of watch parts

UKP laser meets manufacture - high-tech for the highest art of watchmaking

In the watch industry, the finest details, absolute precision and high-quality workmanship are essential, especially when it comes to labelling.
Laser labelling offers an incomparably precise, durable and material-friendly solution for marking watch parts.

High-contrast marking for the highest demands. In the world of exclusive watches, every detail counts.

Signolux laser for brass dials

Engraving with a Signolux ultra-short pulse laser (USP) is the most modern form of material processing. It enables extremely precise, micrometre-accurate structures and markings. Signolux USP lasers generate virtually no heat, which makes them ideal for processing heat-sensitive materials such as brass.

This allows complex markings and surface finishes to be realised - without any thermal impairment of the finely machined structures.

Ultra Black Marking with UKP laser Signolux - precision for the watch industry

The non-contact labelling process leaves the mechanical structure of the sensitive parts untouched - ideal for high-quality housings, bases, bridges, rotors or clasps. Laser engraving also impresses with flexibility and repeat accuracy for limited series and personalisation, such as initials or special editions. Our laser systems enable precise, high-contrast and forgery-proof marking that fulfils the highest demands in terms of aesthetics and function - from classic stainless steel cases to gold-plated surfaces or ceramic elements.

Suitable materials for watch parts

Stainless steel (e.g. 316L), titanium, brass, gold, silver, platinum
Ceramic, anodised aluminium, sapphire crystal (with Signolux)

Typical applications

Engraving of serial numbers and references
Manufacturer logos and brand labelling
Laser engraving on movement bridges and rotors
Customised lettering for limited editions
Design of dials and case backs
Finest engravings with high edge definition - also for microtypography
Security markings such as micro lettering or micro data matrix codes
Decorative structures such as sunburst, guilloché or textures


USP lasers (femtosecond or picosecond lasers)
generate almost no heat, which makes them ideal for heat-sensitive materials such as brass. This allows complex markings and surface finishes to be realised - without any thermal damage to the finely crafted structures.

Why Signolux UKP lasers for brass dials?

Tradition and technology in perfect harmony
In a world where precision, aesthetics and longevity are crucial, modern technologies such as the ultra-short pulse laser (USP) merge with the classic craftsmanship of watchmaking to create a new standard: technical excellence with emotional depth. While experienced watchmakers assemble the heart of every watch - the movement - with dedication, the USP laser offers unrivalled possibilities for the high-precision finishing of components such as dials, cases or oscillating weights.

Laser labelling of watch straps - precise, elegant, individual


A watch strap is more than just a functional element - it is an expression of style, identity and value. With modern laser labelling, watch straps made from a wide variety of materials can be finished precisely, permanently and aesthetically: from finely engraved logos and serial numbers to individual dedications or patterns.

Stainless steel & titanium - high-contrast engravings without material deformation
Leather - gentle laser embossing for lettering, logos or textures
Rubber & silicone - precise, permanent marking without abrasion
Ceramic & carbon - smooth, fine lines with a maximum level of detail
