From Sketch to Showdown: The Making of Card Table 2.0 - Skeleton Poker Watch

Card Table 2.0: Skeleton Poker Watch by Flagman & Co.
At Flagman & Co. every handmade watch tells a story. Among our most celebrated creations is the Card Table 2.0 — a luxury skeleton watch from our Gambling series, where each hour is marked by a playing card and the rest of the dial is masterfully skeletonized.

Today, we’ll take you behind the scenes and show exactly how this masterpiece is born — step by step.

1. Inspiration and First Sketch
The idea for the Card Table 2.0 was born from the thrill of the game — the tension of high-stakes poker, the elegance of casino nights, and the artistry of horology.

Our artist first drew the dial by hand, placing each card symbol at its precise position, then transferred the design into a digital blueprint.

2. Selecting Premium Materials
For this model, we chose high-grade 904L stainless steel for the case — a material known for its durability and refined finish.

3. We skeletonize and cut the bridges of the dial with precision, followed by meticulous polishing to achieve the perfect finish.

4. Hand Engraving, Enamel, and Kiln Firing
We plate the dial with silver and gold, then hand-fill the card markers and decorative accents with enamel in deep, vivid tones.

The dial is then fired in a high-temperature kiln to give the enamel its lasting brilliance.

The next step is to assemble the watch. All the elements are combined to create a unique wristwatch.

5. Three Stages of Quality Control
Water Resistance Testing – Pressure-tested to 6 ATM in a special chamber.

Accuracy Testing – Checked on a professional timegrapher and worn on a simulator for 48 hours.

6. The Grand Reveal
After weeks of meticulous work, the Card Table 2.0 is ready. The dial’s playing cards glimmer under light, the skeletonized bridges reveal the beating heart of the movement, and the Italian Pueblo leather strap completes the look.
