How to make Embossed watch caseback?

A Embossed caseback refers to the process of creating a design or information on the back of a Watch Case by stamping it with a tool or machine. This is a common technique used in the watchmaking industry to add branding, model numbers, or other important information to the watch. Embossed casebacks can be made from a variety of materials, including stainless steel, titanium, and gold. They can also be decorated with various finishes, such as brushed, polished, sandblasted or engraved.
