Constant communication and intense collaboration between Belgium and Switzerland were essential to overcome the technical challenges we faced from collection to collection.
STEP 1
This first step is critical and particularly technical as our artisanal process transforms parts of legendary cars of a few meters into dials measured in microns. The dial is at the heart of our timepieces and is the soul of Atelier Jalaper. The production of our dials is carefully supervised by our engineers and craftsmen in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland.
STEP 2
The second step is to flatten the automotive part and process the metal in order to stamp the dials. During the preparation for cutting, the physical characteristics of the aluminum had to be overcome so that the press could pick up each dial one by one without altering their flatness and patina.
STEP 3
The dials of our first collection are laser engraved with extreme precision to preserve the original patina, a challenge that we also met with the tampography process when marking the dial of the AJ-P400 (preceded by an anodization treatment to adorn it with a black color). Our challenge is to always meet the quality requirements of Swiss watchmaking while maintaining the authentic patina that is unique to us and defines our timepieces.
STEP 4
The final step is the assembly of our timepieces which takes place entirely in La Chaux-de-Fonds. At this precise moment, the realization of the previous steps takes all its meaning. All the parts become one and your timepiece knows its first beats. Before being placed on your wrist, your watch undergoes quality and water-resistance checks, an essential procedure that testifies to our desire to offer quality timepieces.
