A Brief History


In February 1993 René Quinting came up with the idea of designing a watch that was completely see-through from the dial to the back – a fascinating idea that has occupied the greatest minds in the watchmaking profession for more than 100 years. So it was that a succession of finely crafted skeleton-watches was born, each one with a mechanism more transparent than the last, edging ever closer to this grand goal. None, however, achieved total movement transparency

This watch is complete and in new condition. It has never been worn by the current owner. As a result, the battery has run down and will need to be replaced.
