9. As a silver mirror, made from a thin plate, reflects the image confusedly and weakly, whilst from a thick solid plate it takes a high polish, and reflects the image brilliantly and strongly; so plastering, when thin in substance, not only cracks, but soon decays. On the contrary, that which is well covered with plaster and stucco, and closely laid on, when well polished, not only shines, but reflects to the spectators the images falling on it.

1. Cum a pavimentorum cura discessum fuerit, tunc de albariis operibus est explicandum. id autem erit recte, si glaebae calcis optimae ante multo tempore quam opus fuerit macerabuntur, uti si qua glaeba parum fuerit in fornace cocta, in maceratione diuturna liquore defervere coacta uno tenore concoquatur. namque cum non penitus macerata sed recens sumitur, cum fuerit inducta habens latentes crudos calculos pustulas emittit. qui calculi in opere uno tenore cum permacerentur, dissolvunt et dissipant tectorii politiones.

Skill, experience, and imagination guide the slightest gesture of the engraver to the nearest hundredth of a millimeter. To preserve the shape of the components, he wedges them into a wax bed and works on them one by one. He first outlines the areas to be engraved with a fine line. Then he begins the chiseling, using a broader stroke so as not to carve too deeply and risk piercing the metal of the part. The components are then entrusted to the hands of the watchmakers for final assembly. Once assembled, the movement has the appearance of a luxurious openwork embroidery of utmost delicacy, adorned with rubies and blued screws.
