No.4 Wristwatch

Here is my No.4 wristwatch. This one is a semi-skeleton. The idea is to show only the interesting bits. This includes the escapement, the mainspring barrel & the keyless works. Everything else is covered by the stepped dial.

In this model the dial and movement are in bare, frosted brass. I feel this is a more muted, understated look as compared to gold plating. Also, the brass will acquire an interesting patina over time. Something like a service indicator :-)

The hands are 'Sambhare' hands. The case is 38mm excluding the crown, 47mm lug to lug and 11mm thick.
