I like various versions ;)
Jun 27, 2014,08:11 AM
I really wanted to share here that I feel strange in that I like various versions with different executions 
I mean the first version from the masterpieces collection in Platinum is my absolute favouruite, and completely different in style, yet another one I am totally drawn to is the date tourbillon version from early 2000s...it is more about the overall product that comes out from the execution that matters, rather than just the technique and style of execution, to me..I can understand that some people may have completely partial taste to certain sty;es due to their artistic credentials...I also do not think that being easier or simpler would be a consideration in a skeletonization at this high level...I think all the shown styles would be equally technically and artistically big achievements as at this level I do not think the artistic merit of the work would be compromised for styles...Is even thinking on these lines like comparing whether the work of a romantic era artist was tougher or higher in artistic merit than the work of a post modernist?
Amazing pieces and thanks for sharing
warm regards,
Asad

Superb skeletonisation with just a tiny omission...

… of not using the empty arch at 7 o'clock for a neat power reserve indication: Second: am I right in assuming that the gorgeous large rubies are a bit smaller on the skeleton? Nevertheless, they are used with great effect (thanks Oliver particularly for ...
There is a power reserve indication (of sorts)

Hi Magnus Although you are correct that there is no power reserve indication shown with a hand, there is a very usable substitute. Just look at the skeleton barrels! You can see the state of wind of the mainsprings. Voila! A power reserve indication witho...

(and I think I commented on this years ago in respect to the open barrel of the otherwise non-skeletonised Cal. 71), but my main comment was directed of making use of the arch at 7 o'clock (note: putting a PR hand there would require some kind of mechanic...
"the gorgeous large rubies"

Magnus, I didn´t see it before to be honest. I agree, the large rubies are gorgeous. But for the skeleton I prefer the smaller ones :-) Thanks! Oliver
