The jewels (red) are made of synthetic ruby. The lower jewel is called the 'hole jewel', the upper one is the 'capstone' or 'end jewel'. This type of bearing is used in watches where friction is critical, such as in the balance wheel pivots. With ordinary bearings (shown in Watch jewel bearing.svg), when the watch is vertical the shoulder of ...
A 17 jewel watch has every bearing from the balance wheel to the center wheel pivot bearings jeweled, so it was considered a 'fully jeweled' watch. [18] In quality watches, to minimize positional error, capstones were added to the lever and escape wheel bearings, making 21 jewels.
