MicroWatch – Precision Heat Treatment for Watchmaking Components

MicroWatch 1

The MicroWatch oil quench furnace is a compact, automated heat treatment unit specifically developed for carbon steels used in the watchmaking industry.

Its fast transfer under protective atmosphere ensures minimal temperature loss, superior hardness results, and impeccable structural quality. 

By keeping the components in the same position during immersion, the MicroWatch system significantly reduces deformation during quenching. Designed for small parts, stamping, tooling, and laboratory work, it offers industrial-level performance in a compact footprint.
