What Makes Our Dials Different

Every dial we make is built to the same standard we'd put in our own watches.

Precision-Cut to Size

Every dial is cut and finished to exact movement tolerances — feet placement, date aperture, and dial thickness are all dialed in for a flush, rattle-free fit.

Fully Custom Artwork

Your design, your story. We print, engrave, or hand-paint any artwork — from family photos and military insignia to muscle cars and spiritual imagery.

Movement-Matched Cutouts

Date windows and day/date apertures are precisely positioned for NH35, NH36, and NH34 movement layouts — no guesswork, no misalignment.

Drop-In Ready

Dials ship with pre-installed feet and are tested for fit before leaving our workshop. Your watchmaker can drop them straight in.

Made in the USA

Designed, printed, and finished in our American workshop by TWBC-certified watchmakers who build with these movements every day.

Quality Guaranteed

Every dial passes a visual inspection under magnification before shipping. We stand behind our work — if it's not right, we make it right.

From Custom Dial to Finished Watch

Every dial we cut is drop-in ready for an NH35, NH36, or NH34 movement. Here's what a complete Artisan Dials build looks like on the wrist.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between NH35 and NH36 dial sizing?+
The NH35 (date only) and NH36 (day + date) share the same movement footprint and dial diameter, but the NH36 requires a slightly wider date aperture window to accommodate the day display. We cut each dial to the correct aperture for your chosen movement.
Can I use a 31mm dial in a 40mm case?+
Yes — 31mm is the standard dial diameter for most 40–41mm cases. The dial sits inside the case ring and the visible chapter ring fills the remaining space. We can also adjust chapter ring width on request.
Does the NH34 GMT hand require a special dial cutout?+
The NH34 uses the same dial diameter as the NH35/NH36 but the date window position differs slightly. We account for this in our NH34-specific dial templates so the date window aligns perfectly.
Can I order just the dial, or do I need a complete watch build?+
Both options are available. You can order a dial-only for your own build project, or commission a complete watch — movement, case, bracelet, and all — through our full build service.
How long does a custom dial take?+
Standard custom dials ship in 2–3 weeks. Complex multi-color or hand-painted dials may take 3–4 weeks. We'll confirm your timeline when you place your order.
Do you offer bulk pricing for multiple dials?+
Yes. Discounts apply for orders of 5 or more dials. Contact us for a bulk quote — we work with watchmakers, watch clubs, and corporate gifting programs.
