An applique for horology includes a visible upper surface and a lower surface for resting on a dial or a structure of a timepiece. The applique also includes at least one foot projecting from the lower surface for attachment to the dial or the structure. To manufacture the applique, in a first operation, a profile or bar is provided in which blanks of the feet and of the lower surface are machined prior to cutting the profile or bar in a second operation. Then, the upper surface is re-machined with at least one final diamond-polishing operation. During the first operation, at least two machining operations are performed in a cross so as to form a blank of each foot with a polygonal contour having facets.

Method for fabricating diamond-polished appliques for horology

A packaging for timepiece appliques with a foot and body, including at least one tray provided for the reception, holding, storage and transport of appliques of the same height, including bores for receiving the feet at a constant pitch, adjacent to housings for housing the applique bodies resting on an upper tray surface as opposed to a lower tray surface, each tray including position indexing device, and at least one vertically extending mounting spacer, arranged to cooperate in abutment with a lower surface of another such tray, or a lower spacer surface of a spacer of the packaging, each mounting spacer extending, from the upper tray surface, over a height greater than that of the applique bodies.
