Photo: \u00a9Patek Philippe<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The first step is to make this wire the required diameter by pulling it through a drawplate, having coated it with beeswax to facilitate the task. Next, the wire is <strong>twisted<\/strong> around a circular, oval or elliptical mandrel in <strong>copper<\/strong> or <strong>steel<\/strong>. It must be very tight and evenly wrapped around this tube to ensure the uniformity of the links obtained by cutting each coil. A sheet of paper, placed between the mandrel and the <strong>wire<\/strong>, helps create a degree of clearance for when the coil is taken off the mandrel, the paper is burned away with a blowlamp before the <strong>coil<\/strong> is removed.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7933\" style=\"width: 1810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7933\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7933\" src=\"https:\/\/www.covetfoundation.com\/events\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Baselworld-2019-Detailed-Chainsmith%E2%80%99s-Art-in-Haute-Horlogerie-Ladies%E2%80%99-Ellipse-d%E2%80%99Or.jpg\" alt=\"Baselworld 2019 Detailed Chainsmith\u2019s Art in Haute Horlogerie - Ladies\u2019 Ellipse d\u2019Or baselworld 2019 Baselworld 2019: Detailed Chainsmith\u2019s Art in Haute Horlogerie Baselworld 2019 Detailed Chainsmith   s Art in Haute Horlogerie Ladies    Ellipse d   Or\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.covetfoundation.com\/events\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Baselworld-2019-Detailed-Chainsmith\u2019s-Art-in-Haute-Horlogerie-Ladies\u2019-Ellipse-d\u2019Or.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/www.covetfoundation.com\/events\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Baselworld-2019-Detailed-Chainsmith\u2019s-Art-in-Haute-Horlogerie-Ladies\u2019-Ellipse-d\u2019Or-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.covetfoundation.com\/events\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Baselworld-2019-Detailed-Chainsmith\u2019s-Art-in-Haute-Horlogerie-Ladies\u2019-Ellipse-d\u2019Or-768x614.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.covetfoundation.com\/events\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Baselworld-2019-Detailed-Chainsmith\u2019s-Art-in-Haute-Horlogerie-Ladies\u2019-Ellipse-d\u2019Or-1024x819.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" title=\"Baselworld-2019-Detailed-Chainsmith\u2019s-Art-in-Haute-Horlogerie-Ladies\u2019-Ellipse-d\u2019Or Baselworld-2019-Detailed-Chainsmith\u2019s-Art-in-Haute-Horlogerie-Ladies\u2019-Ellipse-d\u2019Or\"><p id=\"caption-attachment-7933\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Baselworld 2019: Ladies\u2019 Ellipse d\u2019Or.
