What Do Jewels In A Watch Movement Do? - Ask Watch Experts Questions About Watches
Robin J. from Breskens, Netherlands asks:I own mechanical and automatic watches but I have never understood what they mean when they talk about stones or jewels in the specifications.For example, my Theorema Toronto mechanical watch has a mechanical movement with 17 Stones. Or my Ingersoll Grand Canyon automatic movement with 35 Jewels.So my question is, what do they mean with a movement with stones or jwwels and what is the difference how many stones or jewels are used?Stones or jewels were developed in watches to reduce friction at the points of heaviest wear.

Urwerk Encourages Obsessive Accuracy Tinkering With EMC Watch Movement
Pretty soon, high-end Geneva-based watch maker Urwerk, will release a watch that includes their new EMC mechanical movement - a mechanism that will no doubt appear ironic and perhaps insane to those not acquainted with the passions that drive the mechanical watch industry.

You can also see some shots of the completed watch as well. The movement has a perpetual calendar, tourbillon, and monopusher chronograph. Seem like a lot of money? Well it is... but don't forget that Cartier brand premium.See my full article on the Cartier Rotonde G
Angular Momentum Il Moretto Watch: Historical Talisman Timepiece
This is a pretty incredible new timepiece from Angular Momentum. The figurine is actually part of the watch, and is situated on one of Angular Momentum?¡¥s new Time Gallery watch cases. Even if you have no idea what Il Moretto (aka "moretto Veneziano"), or a Morcic figure is, this is a pretty significant departure from your typical luxury watch. Let?¡¥s go back in time for a moment a few hundred years to Italy and Croatia to understand the development of this symbol. A Morcic is a bust figure of a Moor. The figures always have Caucasian features with dark skin, and are luxuriously d
A Guide To Avoiding Fake Watches
Over on Forbes we published a useful article called "The Truth About Replica Watches." You may or may not know that I write about watches and luxury regularly over on Forbes. We don't typically point aBlogtoWatch readers over to my posts there, but I encourage you to follow my articles on Forbes. Having said that, in this instance we felt it was worth sharing a guide-style article we did helping to educate people about fake watches.It is true that overall we tend to admonish the purchase of fake watches, but perhaps for reasons you might not expect.
