Are diamonds used in watches?
1 Answer
Yes, diamonds are used in watches. Many watches contain bearings crafted out of lab-made jewels, which minimize friction and support more accurate timekeeping. In some cases, makers use lab-made diamonds for these features. Watchmakers may also set decorative diamonds into the bezel or bracelet to enhance the visual appeal of their timepieces. Some makers well-known for their diamond watches include Graff, Chopard, Jacob
Co., Piaget, Hublot, Cartier and Bulgari. Shop a collection of diamond watches on 1stDibs.
