Abstract
A sublimation decalcomania of the surface of a watch case includes a first step in which the surface of the watch case is provided with a coating before the watch case and a decal-bearing paper are held in a plastic bag. The plastic bag containing the coated watch case and the decal-bearing paper is exhausted of air by a vacuum device. The vacuum bag is then baked in an oven to bring about the sublimation transfer of the decal to the coated surface of the watch case.
