Skeletonized watches and openworked dials seem to be everywhere this year. From subtle cutouts that reveal just a hint of mechanics to fully open displays that showcase the entire movement, brands across price segments are leaning into transparency. Whether driven by aesthetics, technical ambition, or simply a desire to stand out, it’s a trend that’s hard to ignore. In this episode of Fratello Talks, Nacho is joined by Thomas and Lex to discuss what feels like a particularly strong year so far for skeletonization and openworked designs. The trio explores why brands keep returning to this idea, what separates a good execution from a cluttered one, and whether these watches work as daily wearers or remain statement pieces.
