Tech/Engineering - Manufacturing / watchmaking | | French term or phrase: aiguilles bleuies | From a text on watchmaking.
Par ailleurs, nous pratiquons depuis 2-3 ans un double sourcing avec UNIVERSO (aiguilles bleuies) et nous sommes en train de tester un fournisseur opérant à l’étranger via STERN (une dizaine de référence en cours de polyvalence).
Are these just blue hands? Or is it from bleuir in the sense of tempered/annealed?
Can anyone with more knowledge of the watchmaking industry than me offer some guidance here?
Many thanks |
