The screws on the dial... why???

Jan 13, 2025

The screws set the dial on the movement and are part of the CB dial’s identity.
Today the dial setting systems of watch movements are standard, but originally, screws were used by many watchmakers when watchmaking was not industrial yet. It was a convenient way to set dials on artisanal movements, and easier to remove and repair them.
Standardization and serial production changed it. Such details to evoke this craftsmanship era matters to us.
