 The term “Mosaïque” was born in Rome in the first century BC, but its true origins can be traced back to Sicily in the third century BC, where the earliest glass and marble cubes were found Mosaic pattern. At the time, this process of using cut glass and marble cubes instead of pebbles as an inlay material was an innovation. Mosaic mosaic technology has continued to evolve and develop, and there has been a miniature mosaic mosaic technology, which is particularly popular in Italy at the end of the 18th century.

 This ancient technique, which has been passed down for thousands of years, was originally only used in large decorations such as walls, murals, ceilings and floors. Today, it crosses the field of expression and miniaturizes it for use in watchmaking.

 First, pick the gems. There are many types of gemstones, including onyx, tiger’s eye, eagle eye, yellow petite, carnelian, yellow jasper, palm jasper, Kalahari jasper, yellow agate, mossy agate, coral and mother-of-pearl.

The entire turtle pattern is inlaid with 1,167 gems. Gem setting alone requires more than 60 man-hours. The intricate inlaying process makes the turtle made of gemstones on the dial vivid and attractive. All gems are pasted on the dial and then consolidated to ensure a uniform and smooth surface.

Mosaic

 Mosaic is a centuries-old handmade art that has been used since the Bronze Age. Some ancient Greek ruins have also confirmed the use of small stones to decorate the outdoor pavement.

Until the late 18th century, when two of the most revered and world-renowned artists, Cesare Aguatti and Giacomo Raffaeli, created micromosaics, they invented a new technology that allowed them to make miniature mosaics smaller than 1 mm in diameter . These mosaics are made of polychrome and are heated at a high temperature in excess of 800 degrees Celsius. The glass paste is then cooled and cut into tiny square bricks. In addition to reducing the volume of the bricks, this technique invented by the two artists also brings a richer choice of colors, including more than 10,000 different shades, so you can make the most careful light effects and a variety of gradients. Shades of light. At that time, the most delicate micromosaic sometimes consisted of up to 560 mosaic pieces!

The artist is a descendant of an 18th-century craftsman who created a micro-mosaic Yves Piaget rose on an Altiplano watch. This miniature art masterpiece is attached to Piaget’s signature ultra-thin watch face with multiple delicate pink tones.
