Skeleton watches are all the rage these days. In addition to their stunning looks, their mechanical aesthetics are also hard to put down. Have you ever wondered why so many brands are willing to “expose” their movements? Today, let’s talk about those high-end watches that are both enjoyable to watch and can be worn when you go out!

In recent years, skeletonized watches have attracted the attention of many watchmaking enthusiasts with their unique design and mechanical aesthetics. Different from the design concept of traditional watches, hollow watches directly expose the internal structure of the movement, not only allowing the wearer to appreciate the exquisite mechanical structure, but also to feel the operation process of the watch more intuitively.

The hollowed-out watches launched by watchmaking brands are often not just for good looks, but they hope to show their craftsmanship through such designs. Take the two brands Ulysse Nardin and Glashütte Original. The former is known for its innovation, while the latter is known for its craftsmanship. The new products of both brands that are about to be launched are very worthy of the attention of watch fans.

The diving series of watches released by Ulysse Nardin is its first attempt to create a diving watch with titanium and carbon fiber materials. It not only ensures a light feel but also improves the pressure resistance of the watch. Although the limited edition eccentric annual calendar watch originally launched by Glashütte is made of platinum and may be a little heavy in weight, its diameter of 42 mm and thickness of 12.4 mm also make it a relatively lightweight watch.

There are two important considerations in the design of modern diving watches, one is lightness and the other is waterproof. Ulysse Nardin’s upcoming diving series 37431702A/0A watch weighs only 52 grams, which is as light as a feather and is almost effortless when worn. In terms of waterproof performance, this watch also performs very well, with a waterproof depth of 200 meters, which is already a very good result among diving watches.

Although the limited edition eccentric annual calendar watch 19211010361 originally launched by Glashütte is not a diving watch, its waterproof performance has reached 100 meters, so you don’t have to worry about water getting in for daily wear. This watch is equipped with the Caliber 9211 movement originally developed by Glashütte. The power reserve has reached an astonishing 100 hours. For friends who like to wear watches for long periods of time, this performance is already very good.
