Is it possible to etch a hologram directly on metal?
It would seem like you could apply a photoresist (like is
used to make PCBs) expose it, and develop and etch it, with
the resulting hologram left deposited directly on the metal.
What do you think? Am I crazy?

It would take some work. Embossed plastic is more common.
You would be limited to low diffraction efficiencies.

Hmm.. It would require outstanding resolution in the photo
resist and etching, perhaps near the scale of old integrated
circuits. I wonder if that technology is available?
I just think it would be -so- cool if I could have a
hologram on the back of my watch! Now, *that's* engraving.
