Woah, you don't know much about watchmaking do you? Can you name one single respected watchmaker that adds jewels to increase "jewel count"? Hell, not a single haute horology house advertises how many jewels they have in their movement. They simply label it, and you won't see it in any marketing material because it's irrelevant.
- dagw 9y agoJewel inflation used to be a big thing in the 60s and 70s, with watches advertising 70+ jewels,most of them completely non-functional. These days there are standards on how jewels can be counted and it doesn't occur that much. It's mostly only done by the cheaper brands.
