Layered Dial Atelier
Compose the dial from independent layers — base finish, printing, indices, lume, chapter ring and complications — each editable on its own, across twenty-five surface finishes.
Every component.
Your signature.
Shape the dial, case, hands, materials and production artwork in one connected browser studio—then review the same design in 2D, 3D and print-ready output.

Dial Atelier
Layered by design. Defined by you.
Compose the dial from calibrated layers—base, finish, print, indices, lume and complications. Every surface remains independently editable.

The complete toolkit
Depth in every detail.
Beyond the essentials, DialCraft gives you refined controls for developing a concept into a precise, production-minded design package.
Colour Studio
Build coordinated palettes across six colour modes — solid, linear, radial, angular, concentric and sector layouts — that remain consistent in design, review and export.
Pattern & Decor Library
Layer forty-four engine-turned, radial, wave and geometric dial patterns alongside eighteen medallion, ring and ornament presets, with precise scale, rotation and repeat controls.
Printed Scale Rings
Add tachymeter, telemeter, pulsometer or decimal scales with curved titles that scale automatically to their text length.
Hand Architecture
Choose from twenty-one hand families, then tune length, width, finish, lume, counterweight and centre-cap independently per hand.
Subdials & Complications
Build chronograph, GMT, 24-hour, AM/PM, power-reserve, pointer-date and moonphase registers with preset compax layouts.
Case Engineering
Control diameter, thickness, lugs, bezel, crown and crystal as one connected system, with live tolerance checks.
PBR Material Studio
Render realistic metals, ceramics, sapphire and lume with brushed, polished and blasted finishes under studio lighting.
Strap & Bracelet System
Fit twenty-six straps and bracelets across leather, rubber, nylon, NATO and metal — Oyster, Jubilee, President, Engineer and Milanese — each with matching clasp hardware.
Lighting Environments
Evaluate reflections and finish under eight lighting presets so the design reads true before it is ever produced.
Caseback Engraving
Compose curved text paths, edition marks and symbols with depth preview and production-aware spacing, exported as vectors.
Custom Dial Geometry
Import an SVG outline, edit its control points, smooth the profile and validate the shape before using the same geometry in 2D, 3D and export.
Vector Studio
Author dial geometry directly with pen and bézier tools, shape primitives, node-level path editing, gradients and layer control — all at true millimetre scale.
Master CAD
Apply real boolean operations — union, subtract, intersect and exclude — plus fillet, chamfer, simplify, outline-stroke, polar array and radial repeat to selected geometry.
Precision & Snapping
Work against dial-edge, safe-zone, hand-clearance and minute-track guides with configurable grid snapping and numeric transform entry to four decimal places.
Design-for-Manufacture Checks
Scan for narrow features, thin strokes and objects breaching the dial boundary, with kerf compensation and lead-in guidance for CNC and laser workflows.
Guided Atelier
Follow a focused twelve-stage workflow from dial shape and materials through complications, review and final export.
Manufacturing Preparation
Prepare presentation PNGs, vector artwork, DXF cutting files, real-size proofs, bleed and cut guidance, ink-coverage checks and a specification bundle for production review.
How it works
From idea to production file.
A single, continuous workflow — design, preview and export never leave the browser.
01
Design in layers
Work in a measurement-aware 2D editor where every dial element, hand and case parameter stays independently editable at true millimetre scale.
02
Preview in 3D
Switch to a live 3D render to inspect proportion, material and finish from every angle under controllable studio lighting.
03
Export for production
Generate presentation renders, print-ready artwork and a specification package that communicates your intent without ambiguity.
No installs. No specialist CAD setup.
DialCraft runs in a modern browser on desktop and mobile. Use desktop for detailed authoring and mobile for focused edits, review and presentation.
