Looking Fit

A man would gift a diamond engagement ring to the woman he proposes to marry when she accepts the proposal and this is done not just in Spain, but in many other countries of the world. Of course these are very pleasant to look at but gifting diamond watches for men and women is also a useful concept. The most sought-after pieces are created by prominent names in the industry, and different jewelers specialize in various types of this jewelry.

Tacori, for example is a designer known for its diamond jewelry meant for weddings and mixes the classical and modern styles with deftness. For some of the most colorful and exotic pieces depend on Hildago creations whereas engagement rings from the 130-year old company Christian Bauer are available from select outlets and their diamond jewelry is made only to order.

Never be under the notion that any diamond can find its way on to these exclusive pieces since the stones have to be checked and certified for grades of color and clarity and only then selected.

Diamond watches are a kind of jewelry which are liked and used by both men and women. Interestingly, the first wrist watches were nothing but diamond bracelets with a tiny time piece put on it.

The first of such a type emerged when Earl of Leicester gifted a similar kind to Queen Elizabeth I and consisted of a small round clock embellished with diamonds and was like a pendant to a wristband. Chances are that this was the first genuine diamond timepiece for ladies.

Wristwatches were treated as womanly by men who only sported pocket watches till First World War. It was actually the invention of the airplane that led to the development of the first men’s wristwatch. This was the case as during the initial years of the aircraft, the pilot had to use both his hands for controlling since fuel gauges were absent. Therefore a need emerged whereby a timepiece was necessary which would allow the pilot to track his range and check the fuel load and which would not necessitate removing his hands from the control, just to reach out for his pocket watch.

Strangely diamond engagement rings and wrist watches for men both became famous nearly simultaneously. Cartier of France, Citizen from Japan and Movado from Switzerland are the world’s three top diamond watch makers.

When you hear the words ‘runs like a Swiss watch’, remember, the products of the last company is behind this praise. Movado who has a range of nearly 200 clearly defined and characteristic diamond watches, have been in this business for a century now.
