True ‘skeletonization’ also includes the trimming away of any non-essential metal on the bridge, plate, wheel train or any other mechanical part of the watch, leaving only a minimalist ‘bare’ skeleton of the movement required for functionality.

    high-end watches are crazy. this is a 500 grand jacob & co astronomia:

    they have tons of these, all with free-floating three-axis tourbillions.

      I never liked Jacod & Co, I don’t find their watches useful at all. Imagine walking and your hand goes on the wall.

        If you own a watch like this, probably someone else is walking for you. /s

        they also have ones covered completely with diamonds so they can’t be read. usability is probably not their primary concern.
