Applied chapter, or “Applique,” is a watch term used to describe a design element in which metal pieces are applied to a watch dial. These metal pieces can be used to form shapes, numbers, or letters. They can also be used to create texture, contrast, and other decorative elements. Applied chapter is usually used to add an element of luxury or sophistication to a watch dial, making it stand out from the crowd. Applied chapter pieces are often made from precious metals like gold, silver, and platinum, or from more economical materials like brass or zinc. They can be made in a variety of shapes and sizes, and are often used to highlight certain areas of a watch dial.
