To mark the acceptance of the engagement, a man would gift his fiancée a diamond ring when she accepts his proposal to marry him and this happens not just in Spain but in many other countries of the world also.

Both men and women admire and wear diamond watches as a jewelry item. It is a fact that the earliest wrist watches were actually diamond bracelets which had a small timepiece attached to it. The first of its type was seen nearly 430 years ago, as a gift from Earl of Leicester to Queen Elizabeth I which was a tiny clock round in shape and studded with diamonds which was suspended from a wristband. Probably this was the first real diamond watch for ladies.

On the other hand, till WWI, men liked to sport pocket watches considering wrist watches to be too feminine. The creation of the airplane simultaneously led to the advent of wristwatches for men. The reason is that early aircraft had no fuel gauge, and it was necessary to keep both hands on the controls at all times. Therefore it was necessary to have a timepiece that (a) allowed the pilot to keep track of his range and how much fuel was left, and (b) did not necessitate the removal of his hands from the controls in order to reach for a pocket watch!

Interestingly, the growth in popularity of diamond engagement rings was parallel to that of men’s wrist watches, happening about the same time. Today the three topmost makers of diamond watches are Cartier of France, Citizen from Japan and Movado from Switzerland The last name is synonymous to the saying ‘runs like a Swiss watch’. Movado who has been engaged in this business now over a century has on offer over 200 varieties of diamond watches to choose from, each distinctly different from the other.
