The blaze of colors and the extraordinary glow of a watch set with precious stones is a feast for all the senses. A jewelry watch combines aesthetics and comfort – it is an original decoration that additionally indicates the time. However, looking at some of the gems, the question arises: is it jewelry or maybe an investment? According to experts, models of famous brands, richly set with diamonds, sapphires, and other precious stones can be both.
A combination of watchmaking and jewelry
In the nineteenth century, they were the domain of the aristocracy, in our times these most sophisticated, unique designs are also reserved for a small group. Wealthy customers are looking for original, often unique pieces, and therefore models made in very short series or on special order are a luxury of the highest quality. Individual works of jewelry art combine the best features of two worlds: watchmaking and jewelry making, and their prices can reach even millions of dollars. Swiss manufactories dominate in this area, and their share in the global market is estimated at up to 90%. And it is the Swiss who are recognized as world champions in combining the art of watchmaking with jewelry.
Stones on the shield and ring
The holes in the jewelry are made in such a way that the stone can also absorb light from the bottom. However, in watches such a solution would result in the loss of water resistance, therefore, diamond cut diamonds are most often used to decorate them. This cut ensures that they glow even when light only comes from above. The stones are selected in terms of size and color because in the finished watch they must form a uniform whole.
In the spectacular L’Heure du Diamant watches by Chopard, diamonds are placed on the ring surrounding the dial, made of, for example, a unique opal that shimmers with different colors. On the other hand, in models from the Happy Diamonds and Happy Sport series, such as Happy Oval or Happy Fish, precious stones appear on the dial and ring.
