Our expertise

Horlyne has advanced equipment for precision machining of precious and non-precious metals, enabling us to produce small and large series with great precision.

Horlyne excels in setting diamonds and other colored stones, in both round and baguette shapes, on a variety of substrates including steel, precious metals and various contemporary materials.

Guilloché consists in finely engraving motifs in lines, curves and straight lines. Horlyne uses a variety of techniques to meet its customers’ cost and quality objectives. Guilloché designs can be created using traditional methods, with exceptional equipment (guilloché, straight line and tapestry lathes), or CNC and laser techniques.

CNC turning, using 3-axis twin-spindle lathes, enables precise machining of precious metals.

CNC milling is essential for the manufacture and decoration of parts, combining the rotation of a tool and the advance of the part to be machined to create decorations such as guilloché, clous de Paris, diamonds and engravings.

Laser engraving can be used to create complex and precise patterns on components, offering traditional decorations such as sandblasting, satin-finishing and beading, as well as customized decorations.

Horlyne offers fully or semi-assembled watch and jewelry components, with manual and automated assembly services, guaranteeing high-quality, ready-to-use parts.
