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 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.
