——Cher Gérard, La page ci-dessous est une suggestion de format qui nous permet de montrer à la fois la section de fabrication des cadrans par des entreprises sélectionnées qui acceptent d'être associées au projet et, surtout, l'élément éthique de la production.

Scope of material

(((List Materials with explanations of where they come from)))

Mother of Pearl

Traditionally little research has been made into the origins of the material used in dial manufacture. The approach has been purely based on price and quality. The new approach adopted here is based on the ethical traceability of the material, requiring knowledge of the partner suppling the material from its source and checks along assuring its ethical origins and machining. Subsequently the conventional approach in purchasing the materials, to pass by multiple intermediaries has been removed to ensure the source qualifies to the companies ethics policy.
