These dials feature a mirror-like finish and gold-colored text, created through a complex and labor-intensive process. The term “gilt” refers to the gold-tone printing on the dial — not actual gold leaf, but the underlying brass dial plate revealed after the black lacquer is applied and carefully etched away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"229\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"621\"\u003eBecause of this intricate and costly production method, gilt dials were eventually replaced by simpler pad-printed versions.
