Some manufacturers also indicate the jewel count on the watch’s documentation or packaging.
What happens when watch jewels wear out?
When watch jewels wear out, they can lead to increased friction and wear on the movement's components, resulting in decreased accuracy and potential damage to the movement. The lubrication within the watch may also break down, further exacerbating these issues. If left unaddressed, worn jewels can ultimately lead to complete failure of the watch mechanism. Regular servicing can help prevent these problems by replacing worn jewels and ensuring proper lubrication.
