Mean Watch For Sale on 1stDibs
How Much is a Mean Watch?
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A Geneva mark on a watch is a seal that represents an exceptional level of quality. It is issued by a state-controlled independent bureau in Geneva. On 1stDibs, find a range of watches featuring a Geneva mark.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021An automatic watch means a watch that is self-winding. It is a mechanical watch which is powered by the natural motion of the wearer.
- 1stDibs ExpertMay 21, 2024What Genève means on watches varies. Geneva, or Genève, the name of the Swiss city known for producing some of the most impressive timepieces in the world, appears on the face of many watches. But its presence is far from a guarantee that your watch is reliable, high quality or even a product of Switzerland.
Among luxury timepieces, there is a definitive certification for Geneva watches. The mark to look for is the Poinçon de Genève, referred to in English as the Hallmark of Geneva or the Geneva Seal, reserved for mechanical watches made in the city or within its canton (a region similar to a U.S. state) that adhere to superb traditional standards of craftsmanship.
The Geneva Seal guarantees that your Geneva watch was made in Geneva, though not necessarily its parts. Thanks to our global economy, it’s not unusual for companies to source components from various countries. However, four major steps in the manufacturing process must take place in Geneva: assembly, casing up, adjustment and testing. The watch must also be submitted by a business registered in Geneva.
Each Geneva Seal watch comes with a Certificate of Origin and Conformity, and its movement is marked with the seal, which resembles the Genevan coat of arms.
The seal graces only the best watches. A limited number of the industry’s most revered houses, including Vacheron Constantin, Roger Dubuis, Chopard and Cartier, have facilities in Geneva and consistently submit watches for certification.

Rather than being viewed as a design flaw, a tropical dial is believed by some to give a timepiece more value by adding one-of-a-kind character. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of tropical-dial watches.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2024On a watch, 21 jewels means that the timepiece has a particular type of movement. Specifically, the movement features 21 jewel capstones that serve as bearings, allowing the gears inside to turn. Typically, only high-end mechanical timepieces feature 21 jewels, with 17 jewels being more common. Find a diverse assortment of watches from some of the world's top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertJanuary 23, 2024What the word Genève means on an Omega watch varies. From 1953 to 1967, Omega added Genève to the dials of many of their timepieces in celebration of records that the watchmaker set at the Geneva Observatory. On watches produced between 1967 and 1979, Genève indicates that the watch came from one of Omega's large volume lines, like the Omega Dynamic. These mass-produced watches featured high-quality movements but were available at lower price points and marketed to younger people. On 1stDibs, find a large collection of Omega watches.
- What does 7 jewels watch mean?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022The term “seven-jewel watch” means one that has seven pivots. This means that there are seven bearings on the wheel train that powers the movement of a mechanical watch. Pivots usually have natural or synthetic ruby gemstone insets, which is where the term jewel comes from. You'll find a collection of mechanical watches on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022In Elgin watches, grade means what quality the timepieces are. Elgin assigned grades based on the type of movement and the type of finish on its watches. Higher grade watches tended to cost more than lower grade ones. On 1stDibs, find a collection of Elgin watches.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 19, 2021An Oyster Perpetual on a Rolex watch refers to the watch's ability to run on the energy generated by the wearer's wrist movements rather than manual winding.
