    Abstract: The method for manufacturing a mold for manufacturing a timepiece component includes producing (E1) a recess originating from an upper surface (21) of a substrate (20), so as to form a recess (30) delimited by at least one surface (31) inclined relative to the plane (P1) in which the upper surface (21) of the substrate (20) extends, and producing (E3) at least one wall (41) of the mold comprising depositing (E31) a material on at least part of the surfaces of the substrate (20), optionally covered with a conductive layer and/or an anti-reflective layer (25), so as to form a mold at least partially delimited by at least one wall (41) of the material and by the at least one inclined surface (31) of the recess (30), and optionally by at least part of the upper surface (21) of the substrate (20).

    Abstract: Provided is a method for protecting a complex watch component against gaseous environment, characterized in that the entire surface of the complex watch component or parts of said surface is/are coated with a protective coating, which is not visible by observation with the naked eye, by atomic layer deposition (ALD). Further provided are a method for obtaining a complex watch component, and a complex watch component comprising a protective ALD coating.

    Abstract: The method for manufacturing a timepiece component includes: providing (E1) a substrate having an upper surface (21); applying (E2) an anti-glare treatment to all or part of the upper surface (21) of the substrate (20); depositing (E31) a layer of photoresist (40) on the upper surface of the substrate (20); exposing (E32) the photoresist (40) to exposure radiation (45) according to a predetermined pattern; and developing (E33) the photoresist (40), so as to form a mould delimited at least partially by the photoresist (40) and by a portion of the at least one upper surface (21) of the substrate (20).
