EPHJ 2026: see you at the reference trade show for watchmaking and medical

In two weeks, Vulkam will be back at booth K107 at EPHJ – The World of High Precision, the essential gathering for professionals in watchmaking and microtechnology.

This 2026 edition marks an important milestone for the company. Alongside the demonstrators already presented last year: bending and corrosion resistance,  Vulkam is exhibiting a full watch case middle in Vulkalloy Zr Inox for the very first time. 

What's new on our booth

A watch case in Vulkalloys

At EPHJ 2025, our maximum mouldable volume was a bezel. This year, it’s a full case middle. +121% additional mouldable volume in one year.

This leap is not the result of a single breakthrough, but of two complementary steps now fully mastered: near-net-shape moulding, which produces a part very close to its final geometry straight out of the mould, and targeted femtosecond laser finishing, which concentrates effort where it truly creates value on the functionality of the final part.

It is this optimised manufacturing chain that makes it possible today to produce a full watch case middle in Vulkalloy. And tomorrow, a complete watch case in amorphous metal.

Want to understand in detail how this manufacturing chain works? Our white paper walks through each step with concrete use cases.

What this means for your applications

For watchmaking, this is a turning point. Vulkalloys® were already being used for visible components such as bezels. Their properties now apply at the scale of a full watch case.

Stronger than titanium, lighter than steel, naturally lustrous and resistant to daily wear: Vulkalloy® Zr Inox is establishing itself as the future standard for watch materials. Where conventional alloys have reached their limits, Vulkalloy Zr opens a new chapter in watchmaking history.

Come and see the piece for yourself

Reading the numbers is one thing. Holding the case middle in your hands and seeing the progress made in a year is another.

Join us from June 16 to 19 at booth K107 to discuss with our team what Vulkalloys® can bring to your projects.
