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.

    Thirded, automatics are only if you plan on making it your daily driver though cause their power reserves rarely are 48+hours. Solar faces are nice, but honestly, batteries will last almost half a decade and cost $10 to replace at most jewelers.

    But if you want the best of both worlds, with a sweeping second hand and you don’t have to wind it or wear it everyday? Lol for one with a TMI VH31 movement.
