    Detailed Description of the Preferred Embodiments
    A metal strip, comprising at least one watch component formed in the strip, according to the invention will now be described in the following with reference to FIGS. 1, 2a, 2b, 3a and 3b.
    Such a band is particularly interesting for the realization of appliques and needles. In the remainder of the description, applies by means of any element intended to be attached to the dial of a watch, such as indexes or logos.
    In what follows, and for the sake of clarity, there is described a band comprising at least one wall 23, as a simple illustration and not limiting. A needle, or an anchor could have been described as well.
    Referring to FIGS. 2a and 2b there is shown on a very large scale an applique 23 formed by a base 230 formed by a first isosceles triangle forming the lower part of the applique 23 and a second and third faces 231, 232 substantially triangular and symmetrical with respect to the median line of the applique 23 so as to give relief to the applique 23.
    According to a particular embodiment of the invention, the underside of the applique 23 may comprise two feet located in the median plane of the index and coming from material with the base of the applique. Obviously the wall could have only one foot or no foot. For purely indicative purposes, the length of the index is of the order of 4 mm, its largest width of the order of 1.20 mm and its total height, excluding feet, of the order of 0.25 mm, so that the band 1 used for its manufacture can have a thickness of 1 mm.
    As can be seen in the figures, the applique 23 is obtained from a blank 2 formed by facets 20, 21 and 22. These facets 20, 21 and 22 can be made by means of a diamondizing operation to form the applique 23.
    Of course, the shape of the applique 23 is not fixed and may vary according to the needs of the skilled person.
    According to the invention, the band 1 has a clipping 24 on all or part of the periphery of the applique 23, so as to separate the applique 23 facets 20, 21 and 22. Preferably, the clipping width 24 is between 0.02 mm and 0.010 mm, and more preferably between 0.03 mm and 0.06 mm. As shown in the figures, the trimming 24 has a width of 0.05 mm.
    As can be seen in the sectional view in FIGS. 3a and 3b, the attachment point 25 has a height h less than the height H of the applique. The difference in height makes it possible, on the one hand, to detach the appliqué 23 more easily from the strip and, on the other hand, to galvanize the applique 23 partially at the point of attachment 25. The height h of the point d For example, the fastener 25 may be two times smaller than the height H of the applique. In the example illustrated in the figures, the applique has a height H of 0.25 mm and the attachment point a height h of 0.12 mm, a height two times lower. Depending on the watch component to be machined, the height h of the attachment point 25 may be identical to the height H of the watch component machined on the strip 1.
    Advantageously, the attachment point 25 may have a width identical to the width of the trimming 24, 0.05 mm in the example illustrated in the figures.
    As illustrated in the figures, the applique 23 is a time index. According to the needs of those skilled in the art, the applique may be Roman or Arabic numerals, an indicator hand, or even a logo.
    According to a particular embodiment of the invention, not illustrated, the band 1 comprises a set of sconces, that is to say, twelve sconces 23 for a specific dial.
    An embodiment of the method according to the invention is described below. The raw material for making the sconces is constituted by a band 1 of rectangular section. It may be for example a gold band, brass or a gold alloy.
    In a first step, the edges of the strip 10 are pierced by means of a stamp or by machining so as to form the guide holes 10.
    The tape is then unwound. In this second step, the strip 1 is guided by means of the guide holes 10.
    In a third step, at least one blank 2 is formed on a portion of the strip 1.
    In a fourth step, at least one blank 2 is formed on the strip 1, it is possible to give the blank 2 the desired shape and diamondize all the visible surfaces to obtain an applique 23.
    In a fifth step, the applique 23 is partially cut away by laser so as to leave at least one attachment point 25.
    The following steps relate to the final operations before shipment. In a sixth step, the strip 1 is visited so as to ensure the good quality of the machining of the or appliques 23. In a final step the strip 1 is wrapped for example by means of a shrinkable plastic film to hold the sconces 23 in place for shipment.
    Without departing from the scope of the invention, one can also consider other optional steps, the first step then to machine at least one foot for the applique 23, and the sixth step of galvanizing the strip 1 supporting the appliques 23 partially precut.
    According to the invention, the machining of the applique 23 can be achieved by means of a milling operation from above the strip 1. The machining of the at least one foot can also be achieved through a milling operation, from below the strip 1.
    According to a variant of the invention, it is possible to machine a set of appliques, that is to say twelve hour indices, on the same portion of band 1 for a specific dial. In this way a band portion 1 corresponds to the decoration of a watch dial.
    The invention also relates to an installation for the manufacture of 23 watches for timepieces from a metal strip 1. According to the invention, the installation comprises:a magazine supplying metal tape on a roll for example;at least one milling machine for machining at least one applique and at least one foot if necessary, the milling machine having several degrees of freedom;at least one band diamond.
    The installation may also include one or more galvanic baths for the treatment of appliques.
    Of course, the present invention is not limited to the illustrated example and is susceptible of various variations and modifications that will occur to those skilled in the art.
