The NakedWatch® Company's passion is skeleton watches. Skeleton watches are unique watches in which the case and various parts of the movement are transparent, revealing the innerworkings of the watch. Skeleton timepieces have been around for centuries and were among the first type of time keeping devices made. Not because manufacturers wanted to make something extraordinary, but because full outer cases and modern day dials had not yet been invented.
Today, Skeleton Watches are some of the most interesting and complex watches available. The vast majority of Skeleton Watches are mechanical, as opposed to quartz or battery powered. Mechanical watches are spring driven, using intricate gears and measuring devices to keep time. Precision is essential in mechanical watches and components must be near perfect to keep accurate time. Watchmakers delicately remove sixty to seventy percent of the metal typically found in a non-skeletonized watch to achieve the skeleton effect, and many luxury Skeleton Watches are intricately engraved.
The delicate work and care that goes into the creation of a Skeleton Watch is something everyone can appreciate. To view a mechanical Skeleton Watch in operation, especially when on your wrist, is truly a pleasure.
