FAQ

What does Oval cut mean?
The oval cut is an elongated version of the classic round brilliant diamond. It features a similar facet arrangement—typically 57 or 58 facets—which gives it nearly the same level of fire and brilliance as a round cut, but with a unique, contemporary shape.

Because of its elongated form, the oval cut can create an optical illusion of greater size compared to a round stone of the same carat weight. It is also highly favored for its flattering aesthetic, as the shape tends to lengthen the appearance of the fingers or the wrist.

Rather than diamond, Jowissa utilizes expertly cut mineral glass (for watches) and Austrian crystal (for jewelry), each piece faceted in the oval cut to capture and reflect light with exceptional brilliance.
What does diamond cut mean?
On a Jowissa watch, “diamond cut” refers to precisely faceted glass or dial surfaces that reflect light like a cut gemstone. It describes the shape and finishing technique; it does not mean that the watch crystal is made of diamond.
What is a Dress Watch?
A dress watch is an elegant, slim-profile timepiece designed to be worn with formal attire, such as business suits or evening wear. Unlike sports watches, dress watches focus on minimalism and sophistication.

For Men: It must be thin enough to slide easily under a shirt cuff (the "Cuff Test").

For Women: It often acts as jewelry, featuring refined materials or faceted glass to complement evening outfits.

Key Features: Simple dials, leather or mesh straps, and a lack of bulky buttons or bezels.
What are luminous hands?
Luminous hands on a watch refer to the hands (hour and minute, and sometimes the second hand) that have been treated with a phosphorescent material. This material absorbs light from various sources, such as sunlight or artificial light, and then emits that light over a period of time, allowing the wearer to read the time in low-light or dark conditions.

At Jowissa, we incorporate luminous hands into select models to enhance their practicality and legibility. This feature ensures that the time can be easily discerned, even when visibility is limited. The application of luminous material is carefully considered in our designs to complement the overall aesthetic of each timepiece while providing functional benefit to the wearer.
What does “Swiss Made” actually mean?
A watch may be labelled “Swiss Made” only if it meets Swiss legal requirements. Its movement must be Swiss, the movement must be cased in Switzerland, the completed watch must be inspected in Switzerland, and at least 60% of the manufacturing costs of the watch as a whole must be generated in Switzerland. Jowissa watches are assembled and quality-controlled in Bettlach, Switzerland.
How do I choose a Jowissa watch as a gift?
Start with the recipient’s style, preferred case size, wrist circumference and usual jewellery colours. A smaller, slimmer watch often feels discreet and elegant; a larger case creates a stronger statement. Consider whether they prefer leather, metal or another strap material and whether easy strap changes would be useful. Each product page lists dimensions, materials and movement type to help you compare.
