[QUOTE="Dignit, post: 370710, member: 5167"] The moving parts, gears and the like, sit in jewels, often rubies. The jewels are hard wearing and provide long term lack of wear allowing long term precision in keeping accurate time. If you look closely you'll most likely see little red rubies where parts move. The more jewels the better the quality. The number of jewels is normally inscribed on the movement. Being 18 Karat gold I'd expect a high quality movement. If you let me know the brand name on the movement I could probably tell you more about the quality. I love old picket watches. Cheers [/QUOTE]
