What does 7 jewels watch mean?
1 Answer
The term “seven-jewel watch” means one that has seven pivots. This means that there are seven bearings on the wheel train that powers the movement of a mechanical watch. Pivots usually have natural or synthetic ruby gemstone insets, which is where the term jewel comes from. You'll find a collection of mechanical watches on 1stDibs.
