Enjoy
like this?Anyone else like Franck Muller? My day to taday is a swatch, with a vintage Rolex for lunches and a Muller for fun. The face reminds me of White Rabbit from Surrealistic Pillow. I got the Swatch at the duty free Swatch shop coming home from Zurich once and have replaced the band many times
Been trying to get my hands on a batman every since they came out - in every country I've stopped in I've checked out the dealers - shelves are bare! and I refuse to pay the online premiums for one...Have a few others but these two seem to get all the wrist time for the last couple years. Glad I got them before things got stupid!
You can get a bunch of battery powered watches but he whole point of a skeletal watch should be to see the automatic movement - this is a decent enough list for different price points https://teddybaldassarre.com/blogs/watches/best-skeleton-watchesI figure this is as good a place as any to ask this given some of the nice watches I've seen here. I don't own any nice watches (I wear an Apple Watch daily) so I don't know anything about how to shop for one.
I'm in the market for a skeleton watch (where you can see the internals moving from the front face). I would probably still wear my Apple Watch daily, but this watch would be for fancy/dress up occasions. Budget is the low 4 figures.
Any suggestions on what to look for in terms of materials, types of movement, etc.? Since I would rarely wear this, my thinking is a watch that is manually powered might be better, since a battery would probably die before I have a chance to wear it that many times? Is that misguided? Does manual powered make it more expensive? I don't mind winding it up everytime I want to wear it, since this would probably only be a couple times a year.
Any brand suggestions or specific models that you guys know about?
How to shop for one? Online? Macy's? A store that specializes in watches?
Thanks for your guidance.
I have an unfashionably small skeleton watch which is also thin, overall just a fraction bigger than the movement. I bought it decades ago though and you don't see small slim watches much in these days of huge watch fashion.I figure this is as good a place as any to ask this given some of the nice watches I've seen here.

1. Find a watch with a mechanical movement if you want a skeletonized watch, either an automatic self-winder, or a manual wind movementAny suggestions on what to look for in terms of materials, types of movement, etc.?
