Its major innovation in the field of polishing has earned it a prestigious distinction. Crevoisier SA for unveiling in June 2013 its new POLICapture® system, developed in partnership with the HES-SO Valais-Wallis, received the supreme award given by the exhibitors of the EPHJ-EPMT-SMT 2013 trade exhibition, the Exhibitors’ Grand Prix. It is well known that the polishing of watch parts is a delicate operation, usually done by hand. However, with the help of the HES-SO Valais-Wallis, the machine factory of Les Genevez (Canton of Neuchâtel) has developed a system for programming very fast and efficient polishing robots, based on the capture of the trajectory of hand-polished parts by a skilled polisher. A real breakthrough that did not go unnoticed, as the real time demonstrations were able to capture the visitors’ flow.
