The hourglass watches of yesteryears are pass?, this is the era of Jewelry watches that not only tell time but also tell of the wearer’s status. The concept of time and it’s recording has been done since time immemorial.
We began measuring time with sundials and hourglasses that seem to have been evolved by the early Egyptians. These cumbersome gadgets gave way to clocks that the Italian Monks introduced. But these clocks were also difficult to carry around and soon pocket watches found them selves in the suave suits of Englishmen.
The 19th century saw its first wristwatch invented by Patek Philippe. The wristwatch was considered to be something that only women wore till of course the convenience became evident to most and today we find it on nearly every hand.
Another thing that seemed to have been designed only for women was jewelry. Jewelry also found itself in some form or the other on both the genders very soon. Even today the metro man is seen with a ring or a chain.
Needless to say like all other things that the human race wears, watches also became more elaborate and dressy. This gave birth to what we today call jewelry watches. These are not only pretty to look and obviously tell time but are made with precious metals and stones making them fall in new class that is referred to as Jewelry watches.
These watches are available in Jewelry stores as well as outlets that carry watches. They are valued for their ornamental looks that enhance the status of the owner. Diamonds, rubies, sapphires and many such precious stones are used with metals like gold, silver and platinum to create these works of art. They are even made to order though rarely bulk produced.
There are a few pocket watches that are made on the same lines but mostly wristwatches fall in this category. There have also been a few jewelry watches that were rings. Not a layman concept but most red carpets have seen plenty of Jewelry watches. The antique range of these jewelry watches is highly valued.
Jewelry watches are made by almost all the leading names in the Watch industry. Gucci, Tiffany, Rolex, Tag Huer, Tissot and many more such big names all make watches that are dressy and precious.
The designs are not limited to dressy bracelets concealing watches for ladies but there are plenty of designs for men’s wrists too. Almost all watch collectors have a couple of such watches in their bag.
They are handed down from generation to generation and their value increases every passing year as opposed to ordinary watches that decrease in value with the passing of time.
In conclusion it would be befitting to say that such watches do more than the obvious, which is tell time. In today’s age where fashion trends seem to change every second these watches stand the test of time and emerge winners.
The trend seems to be growing every day and soon we might have established and leading companies of such watches making a more affordable range of Jewelry watches.
