Skeleton Movement

A luxury skeleton watch with no dial at all: the open-worked movement itself tells the time. Polished bridges cut away to fine curving arms, gold wheels with their teeth in view, rubies set in gold chatons, blued screws - and at 6 o'clock the balance wheel swinging in its open space, once a second.

Wind it with a tap

Tap the watch face and the movement is wound: the gold wheels turn, each at its own pace, and a glint of light sweeps across the bridges. It plays by itself on the hour, too.

A refined chapter ring

A slim ring of smoked sapphire runs round the edge with fine minute marks and applied polished batons, a double one at 12. Skeletonised steel leaf hands with a dark halo stay easy to read over the busy movement, and a fine blued seconds needle sweeps above it.

Three finishes

• Rhodium: bright silvery bridges.
• Gold: warm yellow gold bridges.
• Black: dark bridges with polished edges; the gold wheels stay gold.

Readings under sapphire

Steps, unread notifications and battery are engraved under three small smoked-sapphire discs, and the weekday and date on the chapter ring. Put another app's complication there and it shows that app's icon, or its title where it sends no icon.

Easy on the battery

Nothing moves faster than once a second; the winding plays only on a tap and on the hour. Always-on shows only the hour marks and the hands as fine outlines on black.

Make it yours

• Finish: rhodium, gold or black.
• Seconds hand on or off.
