Abstract

The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a composite component of a timepiece or of a jewelry part, the composite component comprising a porous ceramic part and a metallic material filling the pores of said ceramic part, said method comprising the steps of: wherein said porous ceramic preform consists essentially of a material selected from the group consisting of SiN, SiOand mixtures thereof, and said metallic material is selected from the group consisting of gold, platinum, palladium metals and alloys of these metals. The invention relates also to a composite component of a timepiece or of a jewelry part comprising a porous ceramic part and a metallic material filling the pores of said ceramic part, wherein said porous ceramic part consists essentially of a material selected from the group consisting of SiN, SOand mixtures thereof, and said metallic material which is selected from the group consisting of gold, platinum, palladium metals and alloys of these metals.
