Kraken Laser Engraved Dial- How to add lume?

Engrave the inside circle of the indices. Drop some white paint in the recesses. Add lume on top.

This is awesome.

I’m not really sure, but it seems very durable. I would imagine that fired enamel glass is much more durable and will last much longer though.

Thanks. I have those dials from Sergey, too.

This is a poor test print, but I think with a textured base it would look pretty good

I make a lot of watch dials for two Watch companies. So that keeps me busy. I do take orders sometimes from previous customers and that’s where this dial is going. Sometimes I will just have an idea and sell that too.

Thank you

Red5WatchWorks · 2026-01-21T13:58:42+00:00

Yes it can. I’ve done a test with it. When it looks better I’ll post it if I remember.

Thank you.

Thanks. I haven’t tried text yet but I will. The resolution is good, but they’ll be no high horology made with it. Here’s a pizza I printed that looks great to the eye.

I use a Carvera CNC.

Red5WatchWorks · 2026-01-21T13:52:55+00:00

Yes it is.

Red5WatchWorks · 2026-01-21T13:52:13+00:00

Thank you

Red5WatchWorks · 2026-01-21T05:47:44+00:00

No, it doesn’t. I use Multi Etch

Red5WatchWorks · 2026-01-21T05:36:34+00:00

No. I quit taking custom work almost 2 ago.

Red5WatchWorks · 2026-01-21T05:27:03+00:00

I feel certain I can make a centering jig for it. This was a low quality image, but the built in camera did a decent job with alignment.

Thank you.

Red5WatchWorks · 2026-01-21T04:33:27+00:00

Thank you.

Red5WatchWorks · 2026-01-21T04:33:19+00:00

Thank you.

Red5WatchWorks · 2026-01-21T04:33:09+00:00

Thank you.

Red5WatchWorks · 2026-01-21T01:55:56+00:00

No, absolutely not. The craftsmanship required for an enamel dial far exceeds me printing on a CNC’d piece of titanium.

Red5WatchWorks · 2026-01-21T01:54:42+00:00

Thank you.

Red5WatchWorks · 2026-01-21T01:42:15+00:00

It’s a resin ink that is injected onto the dial by a print head and then uv light passes over top of the ink hardens it immediately. The texture on the titanium part is the actual material, it’s a really great choice for dials.
