Declarations under Rule 4.17: — of inventorship (Rule 4.17(iv)) (54) Title: A DIAL FOR A CERAMIC TIMEPIECE AND A METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING Figure 3 (57) : The present disclosure relates to a dial for a ceramic timepiece. The dial comprises a casing, configured to accommodate a movement. The casing includes a first groove, defined in an inner periphery of a first side of the casing. The first groove accommodates a glass of the timepiece, within a thickness of the casing. Further one or more provisions are provided in a second side of the casing, where each of the one or more provisions is configured to receive an adapter. Each of the adapter receives a fastening member, for securing a back plate of the timepiece within the height of the casing. The dial is also provisioned with a pair of projections, extending outwardly from two opposing portions of an outer periphery of the casing. The pair of projections receives a strap of the timepiece. The configuration of the dial helps in reducing the thickness of the timepiece.
