For all that it still always seems kind of
link magical to me. Enamel is basically a kind of glass it starts as a powder which gets sprinkled onto the dial in
link a thin even layer. The dial is then fired in a kiln which turns the powder into a single thin glossy layer in a
link process known as vitrification. The dial is attached to the movement with small wire pins called "feet" which are soldered into place.
