Job-order manufacture
The speciality of ELTON is a job-order manufacture orientation. According to wish of the customer a wristwatches that skew more or less from the standard of its samples come up. We are not talking about basic collection but samples of watches of set purpose. Hardly any of the customers keeps his watch in its basic presentment.
The samples of watches are just a foundation-stone whereabouts customer can spread out his fantasy. The customer has many opportunities how to personify, individualize or change more in principle the technical and design parameters of his watch. However there is always a possibility of freedom of any standard so the customer can go into quite uncompromising solutions with our help.
An overwhelming majority of our clients uses these opportunities and becomes a co-author of their watches. Thanks to those most exacting clients move also the limits of our technical and technological possibilities at time. That is why we follow our customers as a partners with who time after time we enter into the adventure of process of wristwatches production according to their inside wishes. So a number of unique and quite exclusive watches at time that do pleasure not just to their owners but also us come up.
Following pictures illustrate not only our capability rate of oblige the customers but also their courage and creative fantasy with witch they set to production of their own original.
Not everything must be in harmony with your aesthetic feeling but we respect the fact that each of us is a personality. Take these unique exhibits as a challenge for that you try to run riot of your fantasy and show the world how is your idea of an ideal watches.
Thank to those of you who have provided us an agreement with presentation of their watches.
NahoruPersonification
The first possibility how to bring the watch into an individual order mode is a personification. In practice it means an individualization of bottom milled descriptions or decoration of the movement rotor by a name or word caps of the reminder man. In case of the movement there are three different technology possibilities of personification (printing, fine high-pitched milling, hand gravure) from which each have its advantages. In term of realization and costs the printing is the least difficult. Its advantage is in excellent contrast and from design aspect practically unlimited graphic options. To the surprise of many customers the printing on the movement is very impressive and does not act cheap by far. Technologically more exacting is the high-pitched milling. Its strong point is a valuable acting three-D plastic interpretation of personification. However some limits are in contrast and design of personification message that is does not have to be composed only by a text every time. This disadvantage eliminates just hand gravure which allows a usage of not only aureate letters but also atypical characters. Except printing both other technologies are possible to use for crown personification. Though mostly only a monogram fits in there.
NahoruIndividualization
The second level present various forms of individualization thus modifications of basic model according to the wish of a customer. Most frequent forms of individualization are colour or shape modifications of dial fingers, changes in design and colour scheme of dial or date indicator, changes in a way of watch description on the back cover (the basis is French description), movement decoration by aureate grinds, hand gravure or milled text with electroplating. Variability in selection of watchstraps and their staples is considered obvious. But within individualization we can produce a watchstrap in an individual order regime which you probably appreciate in situation when your demands are oriented on substandard variety of colours.
In case the presented possibilities of individualization are too little for you up to now you are probably ranked among exacting customers who like to think of a realization possibility of deeper construction, technology and design interventions.

Your original wristwatches can grow up through three different ways then.
1)One of the essential forms of how to prepare job-order watch is selection of alternative material of which the watch will be made. To the standard stainless steel 316L we presently offer an alternative in damask or yellow, pink or white 18 carat gold, eventually platinum.
2)Another form how to prepare unique watch is implementation of entries into basic model construction. Some of them are already construction and technologically prepared so it does not have to mean an ordinal price change of this watch. For example application of the bottom tacked by 5-8 winders can fall into this category. Relatively popular form of realization is an estate of original movement by a movement from some historically produced watch. In most cases it is just the movement that can be used for reincarnation in new watch as the only part. This watch is unique then not only by its design but also a story which has a very personal charge for most of the customers. But not all of the watchcases are prepared for the historical calibers application. It is not even technically possible in some of them. In any case it is necessary to take into account that it will be more expensive form how to purchase a solitaire if the construction is not prepared for these movements. However in case of job-order watches from precious metals this item is not longer a limitation factor so you can afford a luxury of a movement application according to your wish – with the proviso that given movement will be for our company available. Also alternations of date window position, applications of three-D plastic relief on dial, applications of concave cylindrical glass and cylindrical arched dial are ranked among radical constructional changes. It is important to realise that some materially modified parts are not compatible with those original ones and it is necessary to make a constructional corrections also on watchcase for their application.
3)If you decide for more radical solution it will be pleasure for us to manufacture a brand-new watches for you, however the design will be
a.true replication of the authentic originals from our historical production
b.remake differing in dimensions, materials and technical construction
c.brand-new shape solution
