Skeleton watch

Skeleton watch

A skeleton watch is a mechanical watch (although occasionally Quartz), in which all of the moving parts are visible through either the front of the watch, the back of the watch or a small cut outlining the dial. Some makers of mechanical skeleton watches and models include:
*Orkina skeleton Tourbillon
*Patek Philippe Skeleton
*Stauer Skeleton WatchNote: Rolex has rarely made skeleton watches (apart from the 1930s and early 1940s) or tourbillon skeletons. For this reason, one should never buy a skeleton watch marked as a Rolex as it is likely a counterfeit.
