Abstract
A process for decorating a timepiece component, which includes performing (i) engraving (E10) of a surface to be decorated of the timepiece component with a femtosecond laser; and (ii) structuring (E20) of said surface to be decorated of the timepiece component, these two decorations being at least partially superposed on each other.
Claims26
A timepiece component comprising:
- at least one deep engraving obtained with a femtosecond laser, and
- a surface structure,
- wherein at least one portion of the surface structure is superposed on the at least one deep engraving obtained with the femtosecond laser to form at least one area of superposition,
- wherein a visual effect in any location of the at least one area of superposition is visually different:
- from a visual effect that is obtained in the same location with the same at least one deep engraving without the at least one area of superposition, and
- from a visual effect that is obtained in the same location with the same surface structure without the at least one area of superposition.
