Skeleton watches allow you to see the internal mechanisms of the watch working and come in a variety of designs, straps, and prices. They can be useful for noticing if parts of the watch have stopped moving, but some find the simpler styles not dressy enough. They evoke history and vintage clocks, but there are fewer options available for women. Prices range from around $100 to several thousand dollars.
Are you the type of person who always wants to know how things work, what makes them work? If so, you may be very interested in owning, or at least looking at, a skeleton watch. This type of watch is usually encased in a transparent material that allows you to see the internal mechanisms of the watch working. Imagine all those watch parts in full view, at least from the sides or the back of the watch.
The appearance of the skeleton watch may vary depending on the design. Some show a part of the working parts that surround the watch face. Others simply show a bit of the watch movement from the sides, or offer a full view from the back. Some feature beautifully designed faces that complement the watch mechanisms, while others are more bare or skeletal in nature.
Such watches can come with a variety of different straps, and you can find automatic or quartz watches, and the standard self-winding or mechanical skeleton watch. The latter is the most common type sold. One way the skeleton watch can be useful is that you’re more likely to notice if parts of the watch have stopped moving or seem to be having trouble. On the other hand, some find that the simpler styles are not dressy enough to be worn as dress watches.
If your skeleton watch face shows working gears behind it, it can occasionally be a bit more difficult to tell time. Some of the faces have extremely small numbers. Fortunately, there are plenty of skeleton watches on the market, so anyone interested in looking at a watch’s mechanical movement can find a style to match their timekeeping needs. That “everyone” needs to be qualified though, as there are far fewer skeleton watches available for women. There are a few styles out there, but the skeleton watch seems to have a broader appeal for men.
You will find a significant variation in price when you shop for skeleton watches. Low prices are usually around $100 United States Dollars (USD). High-end prices can be quite impressive, and especially designer-made watches can cost several thousand dollars. The average reliable and well-designed skeleton watch tends to cost around $200-$300 USD. So there seems to be a big jump up into the thousands for the higher-end types of this watch.
Wearing a skeleton watch evokes history. Some of the first watches made were of this style. There are a number of vintage clocks and skeleton clocks out there, though you may need an excellent watchmaker to restore them to full working order.
