Kari Voutilainen's dial manufacture
Comblémine SA is a dial manufacture in Saint-Sulpice, in Switzerland's Val-de-Travers, a few kilometres from Kari Voutilainen's own workshop in Môtiers. Voutilainen acquired the business, originally called Dialtech SA, in 2014, and renamed it after the street where his workshop stands.
The workshop specialises in highly complex dials, engine-turned guilloché, hand enamelling and multi-layer, galvanic-surface construction. It produces the dials for Kari Voutilainen's own watches and, alongside that, supplies dials to a small number of other independent watchmakers, most of whom, like Voutilainen, work outside the large watch groups.
Comblémine sits within a small network of specialist companies built up around Voutilainen, alongside Brodbeck Guillochage, a decorative workshop in Fleurier, and Voutilainen & Cattin, a case manufacturer. Together they give Voutilainen's operation a level of vertical integration unusual for a workshop of its size, roughly 26 staff across Comblémine alone.
