Invented in the 18th century, the skeleton watch exposes its gears to the eye, letting you admire every detail of its mechanical movement. It demands exceptional craftsmanship and artistic vision from the watchmaker who creates it. Every detail - inside and out - is cut, openworked, and finished for a flawless aesthetic result.
Skeleton watches come in a variety of styles. The movement of a skeletonized timepiece can be visible through the dial - either fully 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 with the motion of the wrist, making it ideal for everyday wear, while a manual movement offers a more traditional experience that connects you with classic watchmaking.
Case size: the case diameter should be proportionate to your wrist for a balanced look. Generally, models between 37 and 42 mm suit the majority of wrist sizes.
The strap: your choice of strap has a major impact on the overall style: leather for a classic, elegant look; steel for a modern and versatile feel; or a Milanese mesh for a contemporary finish.
Style and intended use: skeleton watches range from clean and elegant to highly complex and striking. Choose a model that matches your personal style and how you plan to wear it - whether daily or for special occasions.
Budget: price is directly tied to movement quality, materials used, and level of finishing. At Ocarat, you'll find skeleton watches for every budget, with models starting at 150 € and going up to over 5 000 €.
