Thanks everyone once again and particularly, Don Corson...
... praise from a man who can make a tourbillon is valuable indeed 
A quick look at how I skeletonise the plates & bridges. After transferring the design I mill holes at the corners.
Then I cut with the fretsaw between the holes
This is the result.
And after a lot of filing & sanding, this is what we get 
My skeleton wristwatch
Hello, I have been a member for some time now & I browse this site everyday without fail for the beautiful watches . Watches are a passion (particularly old English fusees) & over the last four years I have taught myself how to repair my own watches. I ha...
i like it.....
Aditya: I dont fancy the flowery nature of the decorations on most skeleton watches. You seem to have an industrialized design without losing elegance. J.
A very neat piece of work!
Basic caliber? I suspect a certain one, but can't let that get in the way of the overall good layout of the parts and works. I agree with your views about flowerly skeletonized and engraved "baroque" designs. But really I just plain like your concept, whi...
wonderful!
i particularly like the lack of flourish. it is a clean, masculine design. well done!
Thats a Cool Looking watch
I like the contrast of the Blue Hands with the Coppery colors in the movement. Tell us more about the watch and movement and what you did. S
I like it as well
Clean and clear design. I wish you would post more details on the making of the watch, caliber, etc. best of luck
You are very talented Aditya.
Tell us more about this beautiful creation of yours. fernando
Thank you for the kind words everyone...
.... I have written a blog on the making of this watch but I am not sure if posting a link is allowed. All the same, I shall try to explain what I have done When I designed this watch the ETA 6497/98 movements were just not available. So I looked around f...
Thanks for showing us your work !
The geometric shapes work really well. Congratulations on a great piece of work. Don
really appreciated the explanations
and I think the watch looks great - a great eye for strong lines. Best Andreas
To visit his blog
Just enter "awatchmakersdiary" in your search machine. Or if that is disallowed, the three key words Aditya Watch Blog. This is a wonderful site that includes a video of his No.1-02. I, for one, will be returning to it many times. Cheers! amerix
Very cool...
On the cheap, I think Swatch makes one similar, and I think it's a fascinating watch for anyone who loves looking at the moving parts and escape wheel turning, etc. This is a very cool watch, by the way, and thanks much for the pictures. My grandkids woul...

Thanks johnswatch1 ..
As it happens, I did try anglage on this watch. However, I think it should be bolder than this. 03 will have bolder bevelling Aditya...
previously at Wostep?
Hey there, did you come by WOSTEP in Neuchatel for a test a while back? I think it was you cause I remember this watch. It was very impressive what you had done with little training and tools! What are your plans now? Aaron
It is more like NO training and few tools!
I was at WOSTEP last August. I remember I had a nice long chat with one of your classmates, I think his name was Thomas. BTW I really like your watch. In my opinion, the dial is very clear & really well done!
Oh right...
Ahh yes Thomas. He's quite a character.... So are you going to take some training somewhere? Thanks for the comments about my watch. Much appreciated. But now I am stuck with no tools or materials to make any more watches!
If I remember right...
... he was a chef before he came to WOSTEP. Quite an interesting shift, I should think! I have just started reading my copy of 'Watchmaking' by George Daniels, that will be my training for now He says that one does not need very fancy equipment to make a ...
