5-Axis CNC Swiss Watchmaking Machines for Jewelry Manufacturing

CNC stands for "computer numerical control," a technology that powers a wide range of machines—cutting, engraving, milling, turning, and more—guided with computer precision.

In the jewelry industry, small CNC machines are often used to create wax models for new designs. These compact units have limited rigidity and typically operate in only three axes, making them suitable for prototyping but not for full-scale production.

At Caloz International, we use industrial-grade CNC machines designed for series manufacturing. While they can handle soft materials such as wax, their true strength lies in working directly with almost any metal—including precious metals like silver and gold—with exceptional accuracy and consistency.

Our level of precision enables us also to create perfectly fitted enclosures for electronic wearables, like smart watches or connected bracelets.

Our CNC machines also allow us to work with other materials, such as wood, mother-of-pearl, and resins. The examples shown below have been machined only; they have not yet undergone sanding or polishing.
