    Whats the name of this tool (Engravers Ball Alternative)

    I think the numbers are for the clamp that is specialy made for the part being engraved. With different parts having its own number and clamps. Maybe the vise is also their own making. It is a watchmaking company after all.

    Today's fixturing tip

    It looks like laserwelding! Very weird, must have been a very low setting to not mess up the plating. The guy who did it probably also had a hard time keeping it secure. So then decided to use a laser to make the letters in stead of engraving.
