The story
Zurich Airport, January 25, 2023: Denis Lutz returns from the Golden State Tattoo Expo in Pasadena. This event, which took place from January 21 to 23, is an inexhaustible source of inspiration for Denis, Creative Director at Louis XVI. Constantly in search of new ideas that could change the watch industry, a particular idea won't leave him alone this morning: A tattoo on a watch. The combination of the artistic expressiveness of a tattoo and the elegance of a watch fascinates him. This vision could be the next big thing in the world of watches.

Laser engraving
The process begins with laser engraving, where the watch case is adorned with fine and detailed patterns. These engravings create cavities on the surface of the watch, which are filled later.
Manual application of UV-curable ink: The cavities created by the laser engraving are filled by hand with a special black UV-curable ink. This step is particularly demanding as it requires precision and a trained eye to apply the ink evenly and without overflow.

Curing under UV light
After the ink is applied, it is cured under ultraviolet light. This process gives the ink extreme durability and makes it resistant to scratches and abrasion.
Satin polish: After the ink has cured, the watch receives a satin polish. This surface treatment ensures that the watch is less susceptible to fingerprints and minor scratches compared to high-gloss surfaces. The satin finish offers a successful balance between aesthetics and practicality, giving the watch a refined yet subtle look.
This manufacturing process makes each Palais Royal Inked watch a work of art that stands out from everything that has come before, both for its durability and its elegant and unique aesthetics. Become part of this story too. #BeRoyal and secure one of only 1000 worldwide as soon as possible.
