High jewelry watches are renowned for their lavish designs, featuring precious metals, diamonds, and intricate gemstone settings. Unlike regular watches, these pieces prioritize aesthetics, sometimes taking hundreds of hours of handcrafting to complete.
Precious Materials and Gemstone Setting
One defining feature of high jewelry watches is the use of precious materials and gemstones, which are carefully selected and set by master artisans.
- Gemstones: Diamonds, emeralds, rubies, and sapphires are commonly used, each stone meticulously chosen for color, cut, and clarity.
- Metals: Crafted from materials like white gold, platinum, and rose gold, high jewelry watches radiate luxury.
- Techniques: Techniques like invisible setting, pavé setting, and gem marquetry add to the brilliance and depth of these timepieces.
Artistic Design and Craftsmanship
High jewelry watches feature artistic designs that go beyond typical watch aesthetics. Watchmakers collaborate with artisans to create breathtaking visuals, such as floral patterns, animal motifs, and abstract shapes.
