Skeletons on a Friday

In my ever-evolving collection, here is the current lineup of open-worked watches. The AP is probably the most comfortable to wear thanks to its size, the GP’s dial is the most “open” because of aggressive skeletonizing, and the PF is perhaps the most ref...

Well done. I like your descriptions. I wish had this many skeletons in my closet. Watches of course, already have an abundance of the figurative kind

All three pretty much amazing references

But can you clarify your point about the GP? How is its skeletonizing more aggressive?

By aggressive, I meant that it looks like more of the plates have been taken away, leaving a lot more empty space. I might be mis-describing the process, but the result is a movement with a lot of open space. The AP, for example, looks more crowded.

Ah, yes, that makes perfect sense…

and I totally agree. I love skeletons, except when there’s a lot of open space which would show my arm/skin underneath.

Very nice assemblage 👍

Do you find any difference in the finishing? How do the watches "shine" in the sunlight? Cheers Peter

All have a different character. Hard to choose, really.

I have some preference towards the GP. It has just the right amount of openworking for me. But all 3 are superb. Cool trio!

The PF is truly awesome in look and fit imo

So much to like about it but I think the lugs on this piece are really a special standout and how they dramatically they curve and work with the integrated bracelet creates and lovely feel on the wrist
