Abstract
A method for manufacturing a timepiece element, such as an applique, to be mounted on a timepiece component, such as a dial of a timepiece, includes producing a blank of the timepiece element from an injection overmoulding of injectable material into a cavity of a mould. The cavity is defined by the association of at least one impression of a first part of the mould with a second part of the mould including an inlet orifice of the cavity for injecting the material into the cavity. The method also includes finishing the timepiece element including applying a coating on the blank of the timepiece element overmoulded on the second part, and withdrawing the finished timepiece element from the second part, which includes breaking an injection point connecting the timepiece element to the second part in preparation for mounting thereof on the timepiece component.
