Abstract

See full text

A method for manufacturing an exterior part for a timepiece or piece of jewelry made of Murano glass is disclosed. The method comprises providing a material formed of glass rods (2), also referred to as glass tubes, arranged side by side; applying a multi-cycle heat treatment to consolidate the material and form a blank; and machining the blank to produce the exterior part. The heat treatment may comprise a first cycle (a) consisting of heating the material from a temperature less than or equal to 100° C. to a temperature between 450 and 650° C. at a heating rate between 4 and 12° C./min in order to avoid the formation of air bubbles during the manufacturing of the blank. Also disclosed is an exterior part for a timepiece or piece of jewelry, in particular a watch case, having a structure with few or no air bubbles.
