Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2022048983A1] The invention relates to a method for manufacturing an ornamental part, for example a timepiece, jewellery or telephone part, in particular a watch crown, the part at least partially comprising a hard material having a Vickers hardness greater than 1000 HV, characterised in that the method comprises the following main steps: - a step of producing a precursor from a mixture of at least one powdered material with a binder, - a step of producing an insert (11) made of polymer material, the insert (11) at least partially having a shape that is the negative of that desired for at least one portion of the part, - a step of overmoulding the precursor on the insert (11) made of polymer material by injection into a mould in order to form a green body (10), and a step of sintering the green body (10) in order to form a body of the future part in this hard material.
