About skeleton

Let go of watches that only keep you on track and enjoy life and time. A skeleton pocket watch allows you to enjoy this lifestyle.

A skeleton design that is unique to mechanical watches and cannot be replicated by battery-powered watches

The appeal of a skeleton watch is that you can see the exposed gears, jewels that serve as bearing stones, and the decorative engravings on the mechanism. Even if it is less practical for a watch to "tell the time," which is its original purpose, I think the beauty of the mechanism that can be seen through the skeleton part is more than just telling the time; it continues to function like a living thing, without using a battery.

Another advantage is that while the sound of a regular watch is covered by the dial, the sound of the mechanism of a skeleton watch is reflected directly by the crystal, making it louder. A practical benefit is that if dust gets inside the watch or if some kind of abnormality occurs, it is easier to understand the situation without having to disassemble it.


A manual-winding pocket watch needs to be wound once a day to keep it in the best condition, but winding the spring by hand every day means you have a little more time in your daily life. This will likely turn into a love for your watch. Another advantage of a skeleton watch is that the spring is completely visible, so you can immediately tell how much winding is needed.


Managing Director Goda also talks about the skeleton that everyone is interested in

The more I learned about watches, the more interested I became in skeleton watches. At first, I was worried about whether they would be fragile or whether the glass would break, but in reality, those worries were almost unnecessary and you can use them just like a regular watch.

One day, when I was working late into the night, I wound up the clock and placed it on my desk, and the sound reverberated more than loudly. I didn't notice it much in crowded or noisy places during the day, but when it got quiet, I could hear the loud sound clearly, which is something you can only get with a skeleton watch.
