Jewels Watch
Posted in Watches on 01/24/2010 05:10 am by adminHow does the # of Jewels in Swiss Watches affect the watch in whole?
What does the # of jewels in swiss watches affect the watch peroformance/movement and price? Higher d better?
More jewels doesn't actually cause the better performance except that better performing watches have more jewels. In other words, if you added a jewel into a watch, it wouldn't work any better.
Jewels are the synthetic jewels that are used on moving pieces to avoid friction. Higher jewel movements indicates that it has a lot of moving pieces and is more complicated. If you get a watch that has multiple time zones or a chronograph, it will need more jewels.
Price will be higher since the watch is more complicated to make.
To use a simple analogy, it's basically just like saying screws. More screws in a car doesn't mean it runs better but it probably means there's a reason it has more screws. And as a result, you'll probably pay more.
