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.

TIL there’s a fancy name for “replacing the back plate with glass.”
Clear bottom case is different from skeleton. The watchface is specifically designed for see through, as are mechanical parts.
Luxury brands have to somehow find a way to make the most mundane shit seem complex to justify their prices.
Who even wears watches anymore anyway? Oh right, people with too much money.
people who want to know the time without relying on a glass slab the size of a sandwich?
I’ve read that around 6 years ago many influencers bought high end watches and then the market crashed 2022. So your 80k something watch is worth 40k after that. And they didn’t wear them, straight to bank after the sale.
Reminds me of the NFT bubble, except that a watch is a fungible, physical object with an actual purpose - even if it has a stupidly inflated price.
I wear a Casio prefer it to “smart watches” and sometimes you want to know the time without taking out your phone. Like when driving.
Does your car not have a clock built into it?
Analog watches are cheap af and don’t need to be replaced like phones. 🤦♂️
