Material magic for added sparkle

A galaxy of diamonds on the dial swirl and whirl away into the great beyond, and onto the case and then the bracelet links, where they are set directly into the ceramic. 
"The monobloc case and each tiny individual high-tech ceramic bracelet link is taken and marked exactly where the diamonds need to be placed to ensure the perfect pattern. Tiny holes are then made in the ceramic using a laser", the company says."Platinum is then softened and shaped in a tiny quantity into each cavity before the diamond is set into the ceramic". Each individual diamond is set by hand using traditional watchmaking skills and the platinum is almost invisible after setting.
