BOLEY WORKSHOP - DETAILED TRAINING AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL

After April 2022, BOLEY conducted the 2nd workshop on Saturday 21/10/2023. Approximately 30 interested parties attended this year's workshop, confirming BOLEY's expectations and underpinning the status of this workshop as an important event for information gathering in new technologies. Of the 30 participants, half came from a larger radius of 100 km, which underlines the supra-regional character of this event.

One of the most outstanding features of this year's event was the quality of the environment for workshop leaders and participants alike. BOLEY placed great emphasis on creating an atmosphere conducive to exchange and innovation.

This type of workshop was also praised for the high level of practical exchange between the qualified speakers. The expert discussions offered at the event were of a high standard and attracted a knowledgeable audience who were keenly interested in the topics covered on marking laser technology, CNC-controlled engraving machines, PUK fine welding technology and computer-controlled watch testing.

The quality of the exchange between participants, whether watchmaking or goldsmithing, remains the strength of the BOLEY workshop. Fruitful encounters and potential partnerships were at the heart of this year's event, a feature on which BOLEY will continue to build.

The vast majority of participants surveyed were very satisfied with the event and have already expressed their interest in the next workshop.

So we are looking forward to another exceptional workshop in April/May 2024, the exact date of which we will communicate in due time. Stay tuned and join us for an unforgettable experience in the exciting world of watch and jewellery technology.

Boley tools - successful for 10 years with the “Boley” own brand

Did you know that the company Gebrüder Boley has been successfully producing its own brand of tools exclusively under the “Boley” private label for almost ten years.
And we regularly maintain and expand this own brand, whereby only tool quality “made in Germany” or “Swiss made” may adorn our own brand. We place the highest value on the high product quality, durability and sustainability of our tools and are in constant contact with our suppliers in Germany or Switzerland, who produce these tools exclusively for us. New products are also created in close cooperation with our long-standing precision mechanic ateliers.

In the past years, Gebrüder Boley has developed into one of the leading tool dealers in the watch and jewelry industry in Europe and the world. We offer one of the most extensive ranges of high quality watchmaking and goldsmith tools: from the classic watchmaker screwdriver to the high quality ring saw pliers “made in Germany” you will find everything from one source at www.boley.de. Because our foreign customers also appreciate the quality of our tools with the own brand “Boley”, today almost 35% of all tools are exported.

Currently, you can find about 250 private label “Boley” products online in the Boley online store: just look for our “Boley” logo and the stylized “B” when placing your order. Only Boley private label products are allowed to carry this logo on the tools. We will be happy to answer any further questions you may have about Boley tools by chat or by email at support@boley.de. We thank you for your loyalty and trust in our private label.

PERSONALIZED ENGRAVING STIRS CUSTOMERS' EMOTIONS AND CREATES ADDITIONAL REVENUE STREAMS

Personalize and enhance the customer experience in your store, through your e-commerce website or even at your on-site events. Gebruder Boley will guide you in your multi-channel marketing strategy so that you are able to offer your customers customization of their watches or jewellery.

Give your customers the opportunity to make each of your products a unique gift. Customizing your products has the following benefits:

1. Creates a unique, positive customer experience: on-site engraving creates a unique experience by allowing your customers to witness the engraving of the item.

2. Strengthens customer relationship: customer satisfaction is the first step to customer loyalty. Personalization increases the value of products and services and creates a memorable moment for your customers.

3. Customized offers: The versatility of CNC engraving machines allows you to diversify your business and expand your customer offering. Thanks to the digital preview, customers can choose their object and specify what they want to engrave
on it (text, illustration, photo, etc.).

4. Difference from the competition: personalized engraving is a great way to stand out from the crowd. The consumer shares their unique products, thus promoting your specialty store on social media and to friends.

5. Strengthens your brand image: personalized advice can offer original and unlimited options that reflect the image of your brand.

6. Developing a new source of income: By offering different text and image variations for the same product, a wider audience can be targeted and they thereby increase the average customer purchase.

Contact us at support@boley.de for more information on CNC laser or mechanical engraving (rotary or diamond). Gebruder Boley has the advantage of being proficient in both technologies, so you can choose which type of engraving machine is best suited for your watch and jewelry engraving needs. In addition, you will benefit from numerous accessories that have been specially developed for the jewellery sector.

RHODIUM HAS FALLEN SHARPLY: BUY YOUR CHEAPER RHODIUM BATH NOW!

The price of rhodium has fallen significantly in recent weeks, and we don't want to withhold you of this. Yet rhodium is often more expensive than gold and platinum due to its rarity and increased industrial demand. And yet it represents an important precious metal in the field of jewellery refinement, as it forms a beautiful, brightly shining coating and offers your jewellery pieces excellent protection against tarnishing. To respond to the increased demand, we have increased our stock of rhodium baths. Take advantage of our stock availability and order as soon as possible at the lower rhodium rates.

NEW IN OUR GALVANO-PROGRAMME

Rhodium baths “Rhoduna” of the brand Umicore have been added to our programme. Umicore is one of the world's leading processors of special chemicals and has taken over the production of rhodium baths from Wieland Edelmetalle. In the course of the changeover, a new combination rhodium/platinum bath was also launched, which is available under Boley Art.-No. 695641 as “Rhoduna PT One”. This special bath with a proportion of Pt 0.7g and RH 0.3g is characterised by a very advantageous price with a consistently assured gloss and anti-tarnish effect. All “Rhoduna” rhodium baths are operated with platinised titanium anodes.

We have expanded our CASIO and CITIZEN case parts databases to include the latest watch models.

• CASIO - 14,000 new watch models with over 90,000 case parts.
• CITIZEN - 3,200 new watch models with over 22,000 case parts.

Discover the exact case parts for your repairs in our extensive and detailed databases. In addition to watch glasses, crowns and gaskets, you will also find helpful information about straps, links or clasps.

And this is how it works:

• Click on [Reference] in the menu
• Enter the model number of your watch in the search field
• Identify your watch and click on the magnifying glass to see the detailed view of the related spare parts.

Tip: The less you type in of the model number, the more comprehensive the suggested hit rate.

Around 24,000 trade visitors and over 800 exhibitors stand for an impressive balance sheet and a successful return of INHORGENTA 2023 after two difficult years due to Covid. With a 51 percent increase in visitors compared to 2022 and a 40 percent share of foreign visitors, the growth figures are clear and prove the increasing internationalisation of this trade fair. The course for international growth among brands and dealers has thus been set correctly for celebrating the 50th anniversary of INHORGENTA MUNICH next year.


GEBRÜDER BOLEY, exhibitor from the very beginning at INHORGENTA, was back after a two-year absence and was able to point to successful trade fair sales. This year, the focus was on CNC-controlled engraving machines and marking lasers of the Gravotech brand, CNC-controlled watch testers of the ONEOF brand as well as setting and engraving technology from GRS. At our newly designed exhibition stand, we were able to welcome not only familiar faces but also numerous new foreign customers. “We were once again positively surprised by the number of visitors and the good atmosphere at the trade fair and will not miss the 50th anniversary of the INHORGENTA trade fair next year,” says Michael Lutz, managing partner of Boley.

......to the follow-ups…

We have added our major Boley update 2023 to the calibre database. As of now, you will find more than 16,000 calibres, over 4,100 movements and interchangeabilities and approximately 160,000 watch parts registered in our database.

Search our extensive database for calibre information, watch movement interchangeabilities and spare parts and find the matching movement parts listed quickly and clearly.

And this is how it works:

(1) Are you looking for specific spare parts for your repair? Simply enter the calibre number in the corresponding search field and then use the magnifying glass function to select the desired movement from the list.
Tip: The fewer digits you enter, the larger the selection list. This means that even calibre numbers that are difficult to recognise can be found. Conversely, you can also enter the manufacturer and the calibre, which will reduce the selection list and increase your accuracy.


(2) In the calibre data sheet you will find extensive and detailed information about the size and functions of the movement. Many calibres also have a pictogram.


(3) When you see this button, you can call up a detailed exploded view of the movement. The document is displayed using the free Acrobat Reader.


(4) Did you know that you can find out the interchangeability of the winding stems with the help of our calibre database? Compare the part number on our packaging with that of the calibre. Often different movements have the same winding stems. Reduce and organise your own stock and save money.


(5) For quartz or solar movements, the battery number is shown here.


(6) We have archived our spare parts for you under the heading Movement Parts. Here you can find the respective prices and the availability of spare parts.
Tip: If the spare part you are looking for is marked yellow or not listed, we may still have it in stock. Please ask for availability and price via our chat button. Many of our old, in-stock spare parts are currently not yet registered in the database and are just waiting for your request!


(7) In the movements section, we offer you replacement and exchange movements for the calibre you are looking for. Prices and availability are of course immediately visible and will speed up your quotation and procurement.
