The Purpose of Jewels in Watches. When a watchmaker speaks of the jewels in a watch, he or she is not talking about the decorative jewels that may adorn the exterior of the watch case; the watchmaker is referring to jewels which are used within the mechanism of the watch itself. The purpose of the jewels in the watch is to reduce friction. Jewels provide a very smooth, very hard, long-lasting bearing surface at various points within the watch in order to reduce friction and increase running efficiency.
