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.

Why is for aesthetics. I have a pocket watch like this. I think the gear work is beautiful in its own way, and the front of it is like any normal watch face (just with a transparent face so you can see behind it).
My pocketwatch:
That’s a gorgeous one!
I am such a sucker for that jeweled polishing.
I think this does work better for pocket watches. I have a couple of wrist watches like this and I always have to take it off to show how cool the back is, which I feel defeats the purpose. The pocket watch I own that has this look is very easy flip around.
