Ever wondered why luxury timepieces brag about their jewels? These tiny synthetic rubies aren't for bling - they're precision-engineered components that make mechanical watches work. Our deep dive reveals how 7-25 strategically placed jewels reduce friction in critical movement components, prevent metal wear, and maintain accuracy over decades. Discover why brands like Wishdoit rely on this centuries-old engineering solution, how jewel counts affect performance (and when they're just marketing), and what modern alternatives like ceramics are emerging. A must-read for watch enthusiasts who want to understand what really makes their timepiece tick!

Key Takeaways:

  • Synthetic rubies serve as ultra-hard, low-friction bearings

  • Essential locations: balance wheel, escapement, gear trains

  • 17 jewels typically covers all critical friction points

  • More jewels ≠ better performance after key needs are met

  • Modern materials like ceramics now complement traditional jewels

Perfect for mechanical watch owners and horology curious readers alike!
