Laser technology in the watch industry
As a supplier to this market, it is essential that we can process a wide range of materials with high quality. Thanks to the founder's many years of experience in the industry, it was clear that laser technology was necessary to meet customer requirements. Additionally, waste should be minimized, and faster processing should be possible through automation.

High-quality laser processing in Switzerland
OraTec processes high-quality materials. The non-contact laser machining process not only ensures maximum protection of the material but also enables the most intricate geometries. The Trotec SpeedMarker can implement even the most demanding customer requirements, from prototypes to series production. This applies to traceability, finishing, and personalization. The Trotec laser enables OraTec to engrave watches and watch components with data, names, numbers, characters, logos, and designs according to customer specifications.
Watch how OraTec Swiss achieves unmatched quality with Trotec lasers
"Specific dials, hands or complex shapes on movement components can sometimes only be produced using a laser. With the laser, you have more options, for example in finishing, which you would otherwise not be able to achieve with traditional processes. The collaboration with Trotec was consistently positive - we were particularly impressed by the professional approach of the team on site and the high level of reliability in all phases of the project."
