In spelling, Geneva Stripes, or "Côtes de Genève," is typically an ornamental motif comprising parallel waves or stripes typical to high-end Swiss watch movements. These are daintily hand or machine-applied to metal surfaces in the movement and, therefore, provide it with a sight that is simply fabulous. Geneva Stripes do not interfere with the movement's function but demonstrate the attention to detail and artistry linked to luxury watchmaking.
This ornamentation can sometimes be viewed through an exhibition caseback, so collectors can see the meticulous craftsmanship that goes into making every beautiful detail in a quality timepiece.
