Method for manufacturing at least one timepiece element, in particular an applique, intended to be mounted on a timepiece component such as a dial of a timepiece, said method comprising the steps of: - developing the impression in the first part from an original part relating to the timepiece element having to be manufactured, said development step comprising a substep of designing said original part implemented from a lithography technique - producing a blank of the timepiece element from an injection overmoulding of injectable material into at least one cavity of a mould defined for the development of the timepiece element to be manufactured, said cavity being defined by the association of the impression of the first part of the mould with a second part of said mould, said second part comprising an inlet orifice of the cavity for injecting said material into said cavity; - finishing the timepiece element comprising a substep of applying a coating on said blank of said timepiece element overmoulded on the second part, said substep comprising a phase of disassembling/withdrawing the first part from the second part characterised in that the substep of applying a coating comprises a phase of depositing the decorative and/or functional material on the visible outer face of the blank of the timepiece element overmoulded on said second part, and in that the method comprises the following further step: - withdrawing the finished timepiece element from the second part comprising a substep of breaking an injection point connecting said timepiece element to the second part and this, in anticipation of the mounting thereof on the timepiece component, this injection point provides the holding of the timepiece element manufactured on the second part by connecting same to a sprue formed in said mould. - developing the impression in the first part from an original part relating to the timepiece element having to be manufactured, said development step comprising a substep of designing said original part implemented from a lithography technique - producing a blank of the timepiece element from an injection overmoulding of injectable material into at least one cavity of a mould defined for the development of the timepiece element to be manufactured, said cavity being defined by the association of the impression of the first part of the mould with a second part of said mould, said second part comprising an inlet orifice of the cavity for injecting said material into said cavity; - finishing the timepiece element comprising a substep of applying a coating on said blank of said timepiece element overmoulded on the second part, said substep comprising a phase of disassembling/withdrawing the first part from the second part characterised in that the substep of applying a coating comprises a phase of depositing the decorative and/or functional material on the visible outer face of the blank of the timepiece element overmoulded on said second part, and in that the method comprises the following further step: - withdrawing the finished timepiece element from the second part comprising a substep of breaking an injection point connecting said timepiece element to the second part and this, in anticipation of the mounting thereof on the timepiece component, this injection point provides the holding of the timepiece element manufactured on the second part by connecting same to a sprue formed in said mould. - withdrawing the finished timepiece element from the second part comprising a substep of breaking an injection point connecting said timepiece element to the second part and this, in anticipation of the mounting thereof on the timepiece component, this injection point provides the holding of the timepiece element manufactured on the second part by connecting same to a sprue formed in said mould.
