One category of neo-vintage design left unexplored, however, is the enamel dial — a craft that elevated the watch dial to the level of fine art in the 1950s.
The enamel dials made by Rolex in the mid-20th century are among the rarest and most valuable in the world— and also the most unattainable. Until now.
Ematelier, a modern master of the enamel arts, has developed a way to pay homage to these masterpieces. However, they are as difficult and time-consuming to create as the originals. “This concept and these dials are certainly replica watches uk not for everyone,” says Ematelier's Alex Landa.
