Takes 2 months to manufacture each dial from beginning to end.

Hats off to the employee at GS whose sole job is to stamp the dials over the period of time necessary to produce the correct shape & pattern.

To ensure that every production batch passes muster, they even have QCs whose sole responsibility is to visually inspect every batch of watch hands.

Such simple, even monotonous jobs but yet no one seems to belittle or think such a simple job is beneath them.

Wonder if it’s a Japanese cultural thing.

It's not just the people doing the stamping of the dials.
Someone has to conceive the design(stories of inspiration aside), then pattern makers have to make the dies that provide the blank canvas for the people that finish them at various stages after they're probably stamped and punched or drilled at least at 3 separate stages alone
It blows my mind how they go about the printing and how good they get it with some of their dial textures like the Snowflake for example.
