Chopard's 17-jewel movements are a testament to the brand's commitment to precision and craftsmanship. In watchmaking, the term "17-jewel" refers to the use of synthetic ruby or sapphire jewels in the movement to reduce friction and wear on the watch's moving parts. These jewels are placed at critical points, such as in the pivots of gears and the escapement mechanism, to enhance the movement's accuracy and longevity.

Chopard, known for its high-quality timepieces, uses these jewels to ensure smooth operation and durability. The inclusion of 17 jewels indicates a reliable and well-crafted mechanical movement, reflecting Chopard's dedication to excellence in horology. This kind of movement is typically found in their classic and vintage models, representing a balance between complexity and reliability in watch design.
