Thanks, Althea, yes, I imagine "jewel" is actually an ellipsis of jewel bearing.
Althea Draper Feb 16, 2022:
This reference ties in with what Robert says. It says that 'cojinete' is a ruby bearing.

This dictionary says "bearing", so I'm not sure how it's different to "bollilero" in Mary's other question. http://en.pons.com/us/translate/spanish-english/cojinete
"Piedra" on its own is jewel.
Robert Carter Feb 16, 2022:
In one of my technical glossaries I found the following entry that might be of interest:
cojinete de piedra (relojes) - jewel

automatic watch movement

If you Google 'maquinaria automático reloj', then save an image of one, you can then search Google with the image. The result is´automatic watch movement'.

Do you have an image or just the wording?
Note from asker:
Thank you!
