Both men and women admire and wear diamond watches as a jewelry item. It might be interesting to you to know that the first wrist watches invented were actually diamond bracelets with a tiny timepiece placed on it. One saw the first of its kind when Earl of Leicester gifted one to Queen Elizabeth which was a cute round clock adorned with impeccable diamonds and which kept on dangling from a wristband. Probably this was the first real diamond watch for ladies.

On the other hand, till World War I, men liked to sport pocket watches considering wrist watches to be too feminine. After the airplane came into being, it also brought with it the fist wristwatch for men. The reason is that early aircraft had no fuel gauge, and it was necessary to keep both hands on the controls at all times. Thus there was a need for a timepiece which would allow the pilot to check the balance fuel and track his range as well as not leave the controls to reach out for his pocket watch.

It is also a fact that both diamond engagement rings and wrist watches for men became in vogue nearly at the same time. Today, the three topmost makers of diamond watches are Cartier of France, Citizen from Japan and Movado from Switzerland The last name is referred to when someone describes accuracy and exclaims runs like a Swiss watch. Movado who has a range of nearly 200 clearly defined and characteristic diamond watches, have been in this business for a century now.
