Women in Spain would be given a gift of a diamond engagement ring by her fianc when she accepts the wedding proposal as is usually in other countries as well. One of the most sensible gift ideas is diamond watches for men and women though the ring is extremely attractive too. People are crazy about these pieces which are created by some of the most renowned names of the industry and various jewelers focus on the various types of such jewelry.

For example, if you view the creations of famous designer Tacori, you would find a magical combination of traditional and contemporary styles which has made them one of the most sought-after names. 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. The diamonds selected for these sought-after pieces are not the run of the mill diamonds, as they are carefully picked after being certified for clarity and color.

Diamond watches are adored both by men and women as a type of jewelry. The first wrist watches word were in fact, diamond bracelets with a puny timepiece mounted. A similar kind was gifted by Earl of Leicester to Queen Elizabeth I and it was the first of its type nearly 430 years ago and it had a small round clock with diamond inlay work which dangled from a wristband. Perhaps this was the first authentic diamond timepiece meant for use by the ladies.

On the other hand, till WWI, men liked to sport pocket watches considering wrist watches to be too feminine. The innovation of the airplane triggered the developmental process for the first wrist watch for men too. This happened because the early aircrafts had no fuel gauge and both hands were necessary for control purposes. A need was felt thus for a timepiece which would twin purposes of the pilot tracking his range and checking the fuel stock and not remove his hands from the controls so that he could have a look at his pocket watch.

Interestingly, the large-scale acclaim of diamond engagement rings happened at the same time when wrist watches for men hit the popularity charts. Today the three world famous diamond watches are from Cartier of France, Citizen from Japan and Movado from Switzerland. When you hear the words ‘runs like a Swiss watch’, remember, the products of the last company is behind this praise. Movado has been in business for over 100 years, and have well over 200 different and distinct diamond watches to choose from.
