Diamonds in Watches – An Idea Whose Time has Come
Sorry for the cliché, but there is a reason why we named the article as an idea whose ‘time’ has come.
Just to know, the watches that were invented in the 1400s were clocks of the spring powered variety, and the watches that we know today came around in the 1600s. Today the term ‘watch’ usually refers to a wrist watch, and we use the term clock to speak about wall mounted ones.
Coming back into our topic today, the studding of diamonds in watches has been around for a couple of hundred years, and it started in Switzerland (obviously – as we are talking about watches!). Actually, Precious Stones appeared on the insides of a watch much before the outside. The term ‘Jewels’ is still in use, and so is the use of jewels in the winding mechanism of the watch. Due to the high precision nature of watches, the material inside needs to be one that is not commonly affected by changes in temperature and other external factors. What better material can there be than a diamond (or other Gemstones)?
Did you know that wrist watches were only worn by women till the first part of the 20th century? They were considered too ‘feminine’ and men only used pocket clocks. However, in the first world war, soldiers discovered the practical uses of wearing a wrist watch, as compared to a pocket clock, and slowly their popularity picked up.
Today, the mens watch market worldwide is much more developed that the ladies market; and the reason is obvious. Women have a lot of kinds of fashion accessories that they can sport. Men have very few options (without being considered gaudy and insensitive), and wearing wrist watches is one of the very few options that is freely accepted all over the world, and it serves both as a practical accessory, as well as a fashion tool.
Hence, slowly, precious stones started making their way onto wrist watches, and today there are watch companies that solely survive by manufacturing luxury watches. Jewelry giants such as Cartier and Gucci have their own luxury watch ranges which are updated each season, and are a part of the international haute couture. Even for men, companies such as Rolex and Patek Philippe have ranges of watches studded with genuine certified diamonds. Like we mentioned earlier, for men, there are very few avenues of sporting jewelry – especially diamonds – and watches are one of the safest avenues to do so without attracting unwanted attention. Since the key word there is elegance, the diamonds don’t usually look gaudy and attention seeking. For women however, the key word is ‘style’ and ‘being flashy’ (not always, but most of the times – especially when it comes to wearing diamonds). So, the watch makers oblige, and there are some pretty amazing watches that have been created, and retail regularly at luxury watch stores around the world. For instance, the Super Ice Cube from Chopard is expected to retail at about $ 1,130,000! Here are some other watches that form the ‘Most expensive watches list’ from Forbes magazine.
With more and more women taking the career route, it makes little sense for a lady to sport an accessory to show the time, and another for style. The gap between watches and jewelry is reducing each year, and today watches can be considered as mainstream jewelry. No wonder that the luxury brands adorned with diamonds are being sold at leading jewelry stores all over.
Jewel studded watches also make for some of the best gifts possible. If you are looking to gift jewelry to a special person, try going online and searching through some of the best and most economical options in designer jewelry on www.diamondsonweb.com; or try getting a watch that doubles up as a jewel!
Just ensure that the diamonds studded on the watch are genuine certified diamonds.
