The jewelry includes a wide range of options to wear, from rings, chokers and bracelets to watches, which can be simple, ostentatious, extravagant or creative. The funny thing is that many times gemstones can go both inside and outside. Yes, watches can be valuable even when you don’t see the jewelry on the outside. Next, you will learn how creativity and luxury have been part of jeweled watches.
Women are said to have owned the wristwatch since the 20th century, so inevitably gemstones have been a part of them and have seen generations pass through their delicate wrists. However, today women are committed to comfort, practicality, fashion and creativity.
When talking about creativity in the design of watches, reference is not only made to external design, from which models can be obtained that challenge the conservative model and that have given it a new conception; but also the inner partas far as the complex gear system that makes it work is concerned.
In the external design there is a great variety of options from the most prestigious jewelry houses in the world, which offer pieces in red, white or yellow gold, mother-of-pearl backgrounds, onion-shaped crowns, lacquered spheres and the possibility of owning unique pieces, of which are made less than 100 copies in the world.
As for the internal design, the mechanism should be talked about. In it there are two types of movements, mechanical or electronic; in the former the main source of energy is a spring, while in the latter there are few moving parts, only helped by a quartz crystal. Now, the jewels were incorporated into the watches to reduce the shock between the points of greatest wear. Namely, when metal parts come into contact and the oil that lubricates them is consumedit can cause damage to the pivots (internal part of the watch) and cushions quickly and its repair is more complicated.
In order to avoid this and reduce friction between these two metal parts, watchmakers introduced harder stones that wear less quickly, such as: diamonds, sapphires and rubies. The last two are cheaper than diamonds and can be created synthetically.
However, a watch that has a greater number of jewels does not guarantee a higher quality. But, if there is a relationship between the quality of the watch and the quality of the stones in its mechanism, even if they are a few. A jeweled watch allows for an efficient transfer of energy between the main coil spring and the escapement wheel, which ensures optimum function, so it is advisable to select models that have at least 15 stones.
Finally, although wristwatches began to be manufactured at the end of the 19th century, mechanisms have become increasingly sophisticatedso you can choose if you want jewelry inside or outside.
