    Sorry for the quality of this image --I was at an IWC boutique in Hong Kong (not the flagship store) and saw these amazing watches, and I only had my iPhone with me. But this is something to see: the boutique-exclusive, limited edition Portuguese Automatic tourbillon skeleton watches, in all three metals...

    The white gold is at left, the rose gold is in the middle and the platinum at right.

    They look absolutely amazing, a very special mix of jewellery and watches.

    Kind regards,

    I agree they are amazing designs, but to be honest skeleton watches are not my favorite. To each his own choice of what he likes, or not. In any case, they have to be amazing pieces.

    Agreed, I have seen one of these in several boutiques. They are really amazing watches. Works of art actually. But I would opt for something else.

    Gents, wether you like these skeleton designs or not - we surely must agree, that they are amazing pieces of engineering (if not art) - and must have been quiet a site to see all 3 of them lined up togther like that!

    Thanks for posting MF.

    I find these watches very interesting because, while I am generally not a big fan of skeleton watches, I love these models. Indeed, I greatly prefer this design to the standard port tourbillon. Thanks for sharing these Michael.
    Regards,
    Dan
