Diamonds

The diamonds on the dial have a diameter of approximately 1mm and a weight of approximately 0.005 carats per stone.

The diamonds are provided with an eight-cut. The eight-cut is a special type of cut, where diamonds, as the name suggests, are processed to create eight edges.

Diamonds with an eight-cut are also referred to as 8-cuts. These are diamonds with a "simplified brilliant cut" in a rounded form. This cut is called "simplified" because a brilliant normally must have at least 56 facets. Eight-cut diamonds, on the other hand, have eight facets on the top and eight facets on the bottom, as well as a table, totaling 17 facets if you do not count the culet and girdle. They are excellent as accent stones. Due to their small size, they are often used on the dial in watchmaking. If the eight-cut diamond is carefully cut, it achieves higher brilliance compared to a full-cut brilliant. This is because, in the size range up to a maximum of 0.02 carats, larger facets have an optimal effect.
