Nano-Precision for Micro-Timekeeping
Watchparts engineered by XRnanotech
At XRnanotech, we specialize in pushing the boundaries of nanoscale engineering. With our deep expertise in ultra-high-resolution patterning and nanofabrication, we are uniquely positioned to support the watchmaking industry by delivering custom watchparts of unprecedented precision.
Drawing on technologies developed for advanced X-ray optics, quantum devices, and semiconductor applications, we now offer high-performance components tailored for horology. Our capabilities in nanostructuring, thin film engineering, and ultra-precise material processing enable us to produce microgears, bearings, springs, and aesthetic elements with nanometer-level accuracy.
From Science to Timekeeping
Our roots lie in research-driven innovation. The same techniques we use to develop ultra-high-aspect-ratio Fresnel zone plates or free-standing silicon membranes can be applied to watch components where tolerances are tight and performance is critical.
Whether you’re designing the next generation of mechanical movements or looking to enhance surface properties with functional nanostructures, XRnanotech provides the know-how and infrastructure to bring your vision to life.
What We Offer
- Nanoprecise watchparts: Custom-fabricated micro-components
- Advanced materials: Gold, Hard-Gold and others
- Surface functionalization: Nanostructures for anti-reflection, friction reduction, or decorative design
- Cleanroom fabrication: ISO 5–7 certified environment for maximum purity and process reliability
- Swiss quality and innovation: Engineered and manufactured in Switzerland, at the intersection of tradition and technology
Let’s redefine precision together
If you are looking to bring nanotechnology into your horological designs – from performance optimization to stunning new aesthetics – we invite you to get in touch. At XRnanotech, we don’t just build components. We shape the future of precision.
