It is seldom possible to see how much work and attention to detail has gone into the making of a watch’s movement. In the case of the DAVOSA Classic Skeleton, however, it is possible to gain a fairly detailed insight thanks to the many embellishments and cutaways that the Swiss (Sellita 200) quality movement has received. The movement weighs up to 40 percent less once it has been skeletonised. During the process of ‘undressing’ and decorating, watchmakers must proceed very calmly and carefully, as even the smallest error can ruin a movement entirely.
Special features of the soignée special movement edition also include pearlised bridges, a Geneva finish and blued screws. Two further, not immediately discernable embellishments of the Classic Skeleton are the movement’s coating with the precious metal rhodium as well as an above-average elaboré execution (rate accuracy) of the beating heart of the Classic Skeleton.
