First, a brass strip 1 made of a copper alloy is continuously punched out to form a pilot hole 2 and a strip hole 3. (FIG. 1) The pilot hole 2 is used for positioning during post-processing, and is employed in conventional continuous press working.
The hole 3 was inserted into the pointer shaft of the machine body, and the accuracy of the hole 3 became looser than the conventional accuracy due to the soft plating in the subsequent process.

Next, the order to reduce the insertion pressure of the pointer shaft to the strip 1 comprising a skirt holes 3, for measuring the extension of the diamond byte life of post-process, as H V 250 following soft plating, Cu, Au, or A
Apply plating 4 such as g. (FIG. 3) Next, the outer profile of the pointer 5 is pulled out between the pilot holes 2 and is immediately pushed back into the drawn hole. This is for the purpose of making the diamond cut in the subsequent process uniform and to enable the continuous processing of the diamond cut. (FIG. 4) Next, the surface of the pointer 5 is diamond-cut to form a diamond-cut surface 6. This is a step of exposing brass to the surface of the pointer 5 to make it black, and also producing a high-quality black base with a glossy and smooth surface. (FIG. 5) Next, the indicator 5 is removed from the band 1 to blacken the surface and side surface (cut surface) of the indicator 5, and a black coating 7 is formed by a commonly performed causticizing treatment. Complete the black hands for watches. (FIG. 6) [Effects of the Invention] As is clear from the above description, according to the present invention, by performing the plating of the pointer before the press working, the product does not fall off from the strip and the yield is improved. Also on extending the life of the diamond byte by performing H V 250 following soft plating, in pressure during insertion of the pointer shaft that could be lowered significantly (1/5) of the skirt hole diameter The dimension control width can be increased by 5 times or more as compared with the related art, and the manufacture of the pointer becomes easy.

また、指針の外形抜き前にメッキ処理するため指針の
側面の全面にも黒色化が出来、品質向上も計れた。
In addition, since the plating process is performed before removing the outer shape of the pointer, the entire side surface of the pointer can be blackened, and the quality can be improved.
