Swiss collaborator, Leschot. The company took a step towards revival by entering into a new collaboration with Tesio Precision, Taiwan. The company manufactures the entire range of watch dials -- plain printed dials, multi-printed dials, pressed dials, applied index dials, multi-function dials, and dials with special features including luminised indexes, jewels, and precious stone surfaces such as mother of pearl, tiger's eye, etc. Domestic customers include major watch manufacturers like Titan, Allwyn, Timex, Bentex, HMT, etc. It exports mainly to Europe.

To keep pace with changing preferences, the company has entered into a collaboration with Ageo Seimitsu, Japan, to produce diamond-cut hands, which is a shift from simple buffed hands.
