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.

      I never liked Jacod & Co, I don’t find their watches useful at all. Imagine walking and your hand goes on the wall.
