Jaeger-LeCoultre and Engraving
Tools which have stood the test of time. The burins,
chisels, files and hammers used today are little different
from those possessed by the Egyptians and the Trojans.
The burin is the direct descendant of the coarse scraper.
The wooden handle of this bevel-cut steel chisel is
rounded for a perfect fit in the palm of the hand, which
controls the depth of the blade’s cut in the material by
pressure alone. For chilling tiny details, and extremely
exact work, the master engraver has some twelve burinsin all sizes. He sharpens them himself with the sandstone
grinder, then with the emery grinder and lastly with oil
stone. The quality of his work depends on the care he puts
into this operation: creating areas of shade is only possible with an impeccably polished cutting
surface. Writing on gold, steel or platinum with the burin requires years of experience. First the
sketch is traced directly with dry point on the back of the Reverso. The drawing is then honed
with the right burin for the engraving style. An old engraving manual declares: “Writing should
flow freely from the hand, that is the only way to get beautiful characters”.
