Glamourous and ostentatious with an avant-garde design ethos, jewelled watches possess a captivating allure that’s impossible to ignore. Whether you prefer a minimalist piece with diamonds as hour markers or a fully studded model, jewelled watches offer something for every taste. Originally designed for women, with less emphasis on timekeeping accuracy, these timepieces have evolved significantly to house both quartz and automatic movements. Today, they are worn by anyone with a flair for extravagance—without compromising functionality.

In jewelled watches, elements such as the dial, bezel, crown, lugs, or bracelet are adorned with diamonds or other precious stones, achieved through intricate gem-setting techniques. This not only makes the watch a striking statement piece, but also an asset that can be passed down through generations. So, if you’re looking to add a stunning timepiece to your collection, here’s a curated list of 10 jewelled watches from both iconic and contemporary brands.

FAQs

  • Based on diamonds or stones with varied cuts and where they’re fixed on the watch, different gem-setting techniques are devised—bezel setting, claw setting, pave setting, snow setting, and invisible setting. In a bezel setting, the stone is wrapped around the metal, thus securing it tightly in place. Similar to this is the claw setting, where the stone is held in place but by little claws. Pavé (French word for paved) setting is a more advanced technique of claw setting covering the dial, case, or bracelet of a watch. Lastly, in an invisible setting, the metal used in securing the stone is not visible to the wearer, hence the name.

  • For a timepiece to come under the ambit of jewelled watches, it should be crafted with precious metals such as gold or platinum (rarely), embellished with diamonds—on the dial, bezel, lugs, or buckle–or other precious stones like rubies and sapphires, and feature a metal bracelet or strap (leather, textile, sustainable).

  • A jewelled timepiece is any watch that is adorned with diamonds, rubies, sapphires, or other precious stones. These stones are often used to enhance the watch's aesthetic appeal.
