Ulysse Nardin Royal Blue Tourbillon. A rare exception of a jeweled dial which is very much my taste.

No, gentlemen, don't even come to think that I am currently thinking about starting to love jeweled watches! 


But there are few exceptions which are worth being mentioned. 

For example, a Jaeger Lecoultre Reverso Platinum Skeleton with its sapphire on the crown: 


Or a Cartier Tank Platinum, with its ruby on the crown: 


OR... In a different style, this Ulysse Nardin Royal Blue Tourbillon, with its sapphire indices and on the Tourbillon: 





While, here, it is too much for my taste: 



What do you think on that matter? 

Best, 

Nicolas

I don’t mind a few jewels on a watch tbh

And these UN,s are looking gorgeous. I can see myself wearing one of them

My outspoken opinion

To be honest, i dislike rubies on Cartier crowns. The same for Breguet models. When the brands keep up the crowns discrete, i am happy. For example a Santos XL100 or a large model with clean crowns. One exception for the Pasha, which i accept as belongs t... 

I probably view it tiered in three or more levels when it comes to jewels: a cabochon on the crown (a no brainer), on the indices (we are just starting to talk about jewels), or on the bezel/dial/case/etc...where it gets more daring.

I'm in agreement that the first two give no problem at all (and that Cartier is just delicious!! ), while the third one is OK but the last is perhaps a bit too much for me as well ;-) Cheers.

I would consider buying one. Freak and Sonata would come first.

Of course. Me too.

I love jeweled pieces

I especially like the jeweled pieces that use the jewels to differentiate certain parts of the watch or highlight certain sections! Having said that, I still like my completely jeweled pieces :p Below are a few of my fav ...  

Thank you!!

And right, are they interesting! wish they brought these watches back or something like it with a few diamonds but in a very masculine/elegant manner

gorgeous!!!

And exactly!!! Love that watch!! So, I have very conflicted feelings about both PP and JLC cuz they make watches like the one above and then they make super boring/simple watches and I am like ......... :p

Agree!!
