Typically by synthetic sapphire or ruby, these gemstones are meticulously placed in specific locations within the movement. The pivots of the gears are mounted on these jewels, allowing them to rotate freely and smoothly. This reduces the friction between the moving parts, resulting in improved accuracy and longevity of the watch. The use of jewels in watch movements is a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship and engineering precision that goes into creating these timepieces. so lovely so unique
