F Time BRILLI A NT A CELEBRATION OF DIAMOND-SET WATCHES
For centuries, diamonds have occupied a special place in watchmaking. Once reserved primarily for royalty and high society, these precious stones gradually became a defining feature of some of the industry’s most elegant and technically ambitious creations. Today, diamond-set watches can be found across virtually every category, from sporty everyday models to elaborate high-jewelry masterpieces. Part of their enduring appeal lies in their versatility. Diamonds can transform a watch in dramatically different ways depending on how they are used. A discreet row of stones set into a bezel can add just a dash of sparkle without overwhelming the design, while fully gem-set cases and bracelets create an unmistakable statement of craftsmanship and luxury. Some designs use diamonds as hour markers, while others incorporate hundreds of stones across the entire dial.
