Today we have the opportunity to work with this industrial partner in the manufacturing of our movements G100, present in our models Alliance 68H. More specifically, Roland Bailly is in charge of cutting and perforating our mass. For this, the teams use a die-sinking electrical discharge machining (EDM) technique. Since the mass is made of solid tungsten, a very hard and heavy metal that is also highly resistant to corrosion, this technique is necessary as it allows for extremely precise material pulverization. With this process, the opening of each of our masses takes about forty minutes.
