In watches is a decorative technique that involves applying a pattern resembling a spiral shell to the dial or other components of the watch. This type of decoration includes the engraving or pressing of concentric or spiral circles onto the surface, adding visual depth and texture. Specialized machines or tools are used to create precise and consistent patterns. Snailing enhances the aesthetic appeal of the watch, adding a touch of elegance and sophistication. It can be found on various parts of the watch, such as sub-dials, chronograph counters, or even the main dial, contributing to the overall attractiveness and intricate details of the timepiece.
