Always get the urge to peer inside any type of mechanical object? You’ve found your niche. “Skeleton replica watches for sale appeal to watch collectors who skew higher on the ‘mechanical nerdiness index’,” says collector Robin Wong. “There is no need to flip to the caseback to enjoy the watch’s calibre as we can just enjoy it whilst admiring the dial from our wrists.”
Skeletonised Swiss made fake watches tend to be high in finesse, with many parts exposed and finely finished. “Other than satisfying the mechanical nerds, they also satisfy folks who can enjoy the artisanal finishing of a watch with their finely chamfered bridges, or black polished screws, in all its glory,” says Wong.
They also come with a rich history. “It was a form of high rare skill and crafts,” adds watch writer Thomas Brechtel. “Watch and clockmakers decorated their work by making the mechanism visible, as much and as delicate as possible, to see the ghost in the machine, the deus es machina.” Brechtel shares a quote from legendary English watchmaker George Daniels, who said, ‘It is usually the case that when a watchmaker cannot make a technical advance, he will divert himself by decorating his work.’
Balancing mechanical nerdiness with art is what makes skeleton AAA online copy watches so cool, and these are our favourites.
