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.

    Back when my wife and i were dating I kept talking about wanting a skeleton watch, but I never thought to communicate what that was, and didn’t know why she was always so profoundly unenthused by something I was showing interest in, it was unlike her. She was much happier about it when my folks got me one for x-mas and she found out it it was not, in fact, a watch decorated with skeletons, lmao.
