The shock absorber spring is still installed manually. The expertise of our operators allows us to ensure the quality of our products.

Milling

Our milling workshop is equipped with state-of-the-art machining technologies to meet the following requirements :

Small- and medium-volume production of bridges, plates, and complex pieces
Large-volume production of various movement components

Gear cutting is essential in the watch movement field. It’s a special expertise that KIF Parechoc manages using various technologies:

Gear cutting using traditional machines and 2-axis CNC machines for medium to long production runs.
Gear cutting using a lathe to meet the highest demands.

Gear cutting – in association with KIF Parechoc’s other competencies, such as burnishing and assembly – make us the perfect partner for manufacturing wheel trains and subassemblies.
