Wear the Craft of Watch Making on Your Sleeve: Skeletonised Watches

A beautiful timepiece owes a lot of its appeal to external design features, whether that means the detailing of expertly crafted precious metals, or a stunning design set into the bezel. However, equally appealing is the watch mechanism itself; the delicate gears, springs and pinions which all come together to create the smoothest ticking sensation, and give a watch superior function as well as charm.

All too often these incredible features are invisible to the people who come into contact with prestigious mechanical watches and although, as the wearer, you will be well aware of the machinery that resides inside your watch, it can be a real shame to have it hidden out of sight.

This is where skeletonised watches really show what they’re made of; perfect for any watch lover who appreciates the internal workings – the heart and soul – of a timepiece as much as they appreciate its outer beauty.

The Rotary Pocket Skeleton Mechanical Watch

The unique allure of the pocket watch makes it a perfect candidate for showing off skeletonised mechanics, the twinning of two different traditional aesthetics making for a cohesive overall design. In this stunning offering from Rotary, available for just £129.00, a high-shine stainless steel casing protects the treasure within – a precious system of moving parts.

We’ve always felt that a well-crafted pocket watch comes with a pleasant sense of secrecy: what rests inside? When you open up this timeless machine, nobody will fail to be impressed.

Tissot T-Complication Squelette Watch 

The Tissot T-Complication, available today for £1,300, is a true masterpiece of skeleton design, with sections of the mechanism accentuated in different colours – the deep blue hands make a real impact against the silver and gold detailing.

Finding the perfect balance between contemporary styling and the heritage of physical gears and springs can be difficult; however, this is exactly what Tissot have succeeded in doing. This makes the T-Complication the perfect watch for anybody who appreciates the links between our modern world and the glorious past.

Raymond Weil Maestro 2827-STC-65001 

His and hers Raymond Weil Maestro watches offer the perfect balance for those who do not want to commit to a fully skeletonised watch face. With a silver dial for the men and exquisite diamond set mother of pearl for the ladies, these watches feature a classic sophistication which is sure to look elegant on any wrist. These watches are priced at £1,125, with a 36-month 0% finance option of £25.00 a month (gents), and £1,025 with a 36-month 0% finance option of £22.78 (ladies).

What sets them apart, though, is the small window which allows for an insight into the interior life of the Maestro watch. Never ones to settle for second best, Raymond Weil have ensured that their skeletonised watches are nothing short of spectacular, providing plenty of interest for anybody fascinated by the expertise involved in creating a watch which looks beautiful, feels smooth and functions without fault.
