The 2nd example was Internatonal Dial. This company, originally based in Ohio, was a supplier of dials for Hamilton, back in the 1920’s through the 1940’s. They developed the “Baker” finish and used it to restore dials of certain American made watches. They also owned, or reproduced dies using original methods from the early 20th Century. If you had the right kind of American wristwatch, you could basically get an as new dial, using the methods and dies that were used when it was new. However, their work on Swiss dials was less than stellar as they did not have access to the original materials and processes like they did for American watches.
