Men's Statement Watches

Our men’s statement watches are fully gem-set: the bezel, the dial and the case are set edge to edge with moissanite or cubic zirconia, and on many pieces the bracelet too. The jeweler’s word for it is pavé. These are watches for the occasions that call for light, worn with the composure that makes them look intended.

Part of our men’s watches. For restraint, see men’s dress watches; for the vocabulary, read our guide to gem-set watch terms.

Full pavé, described precisely

A fully set watch covers every visible surface of the head with stones, so the case reads as a single field of light. Each listing states the stone — moissanite or cubic zirconia — the movement, and the stone count and case size wherever the maker publishes them. We never describe these stones as diamonds, and the watch has no need of the pretense.

Wearing a statement with composure

Let it be the only statement. A fully set watch asks for a plain cuff, a dark suit or an open collar, and no competing jewelry on the same wrist. It belongs at the wedding, the gala and the celebration dinner — and, for those who wear it with ease, on any evening at all.

Common questions

What does a fully set watch mean?

Every visible surface of the watch head — bezel, dial and case — is set with stones, and on many pieces the bracelet is set as well. Watchmakers call it full pavé.

Are the stones diamonds?

No. Every watch is set with moissanite or cubic zirconia, and each listing names which. Moissanite is a lab-grown gemstone, harder than sapphire and with more fire than diamond; cubic zirconia is a bright, crisp lab-made stone. We never describe either as diamond.

Is a fully set watch too much for daily wear?

It depends on the day. Many owners keep it for evenings and occasions and wear a dress or sport watch otherwise; others wear it daily with quiet clothing. Moissanite is harder than sapphire, so the stones themselves are made to be worn.
