Invented in the 18th century, the skeleton watch reveals its movement, inviting us to admire every intricate detail of its mechanical caliber. It demands extraordinary craftsmanship and an artistic vision from the watchmaker who creates it. Every detail - inside and out - is cut, openworked, and finished to achieve a perfect aesthetic result.
Skeleton watches come in many different forms. The movement of a skeletonized timepiece can be visible through the dial - entirely or through a specific cutout - as well as through the caseback. It all depends on the model and what you're looking for. Here are a few key criteria to consider:
The movement: most skeleton watches are mechanical, with either manual or automatic winding. An automatic movement winds itself with the motion of the wrist, making it ideal for everyday wear, while a manual movement offers a more traditional experience, closer to classic watchmaking.
Case size: the case diameter should be proportionate to your wrist for a balanced look. In general, models between 37 and 42 mm work well for most wrists.
The strap: your choice of strap has a strong impact on the watch's overall style - leather for a classic, elegant look; steel for a modern and versatile feel; or a mesh bracelet for a contemporary finish.
Style and use: skeleton watches can range from sleek and elegant to highly complex and eye-catching. It's best to choose a model that matches your personal style and intended use - whether for everyday wear or special occasions.
Budget: price depends directly on movement quality, materials used, and level of finishing. At Ocarat, you'll find skeleton watches for every budget, with models starting from 150 € and going up to over 5 000 €.
