CNC Machining of Sapphire and Garnet Components

At Minnexon, we specialize in high-precision CNC machining of sapphire & garnet components such as watch cases and colored sapphire crystals, supplying elite watchmakers across Switzerland, France, and beyond.

From limited-edition prototypes to full-scale OEM sapphire & garnet component production, we deliver unmatched surface quality, geometric precision, and color customization—trusted by the world’s most demanding haute horlogerie brands.

Ultra-Precise CNC Sapphire Watch Case Manufacturing

We combine 5-axis CNC milling, ultrasonic machining, and laser-assisted finishing to produce sapphire parts with:

  • ±0.005 mm dimensional tolerance

  • Optical-grade clarity (Ra < 0.02 µm)

  • Stress-relieved and bubble-free structures

  • Crack-free cutting with minimal chipping

  • Full compatibility with skeletonized or complex watch geometries

Whether your design calls for transparent, black, or curved sapphire cases, we maintain exacting uniformity throughout production.

We serve OEM/ODM clients in Switzerland, France, Germany, and other European watchmaking hubs, offering scalable solutions for both independent brands and established manufacturers.

Custom Colored Sapphire/Garnet Crystals & Casebacks

Colored sapphire is fast becoming the signature of modern haute horlogerie. Minnexon offers fully customized colored sapphire components, including:

  • Pink, blue, yellow, green, orange, black and hybrid hues

  • Chromium, titanium, nickel, or iron-doped synthetic sapphire

  • Excellent light transmission, double refraction resistance

  • Color consistency across multi-unit production

Each crystal undergoes high-temperature annealing and anti-stress polishing for long-term durability and aesthetic brilliance.
