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 . <EOS>
