its lovely to see a skeleton which isnt all antique engraved

i love skeleton watches, but the vast majority seem to be covered in lashings of engraving making them look a bit over the top. the top end ones are expertly done, but some look absolutely dreadful. i've owned a chronoswiss Opus, but it was poorly finished and barely legible from a distance.

i've been very tempted to buy a pocketwatch conversion which has been hand engraved as they show a high degree of personal workmanship, but its great to see this watch which has plain and geometric skeletonisation making it look modern and highly desirable. a superb method of skeletonisation with clearly legible functions which i hope other companies will follow.

Hi Nicolas, Once again your pics are gorgeous. I love this watch and it would be my perfect christmas gift. Alas it will remain a dream but I put it in my top selection, with the Gyrotourbillon, the skeletton Platinum 2 Reverso tourbillon, and your minute... 

Thanks Dje...

The perfect one to go with my MMR Ti. Ouch! I perfectly remember when we saw it, Father... But I have the feeling that this one is a bit more finished. It's even nicer than the proto.
