Leton
Leton refers to a type of alloy used in watchmaking during the 18^th century. It is composed of copper, zinc, and nickel, and was often used for watch cases due to its durability and resistance to corrosion. It was also used for decorative purposes, such as the creation of enamelled watch cases. The alloy’s ability to take on different colours and designs made it a popular choice for embellishing timepieces.
Leton played a significant role in the development of watchmaking during the 18^th century. Its use allowed watchmakers to create more durable and visually appealing timepieces, contributing to the advancement of horological craftsmanship.
