Skeleton watch

Okay kiddo, so you know how when we look at a regular watch, we can see all the gears and stuff moving behind the face? Well, a skeleton watch is like that, but even cooler!

Instead of hiding all the machinery, a skeleton watch shows off all the intricate parts that make it work. You can see the gears turning, the springs bouncing back and forth, and even the little balance wheel ticking away.

It's like having a little window into the inner workings of your watch. And because all the parts are on display, some people think that the craftsmanship and artistry of the watchmakers who design and build these watches is even more impressive.

So if you ever see a watch that looks like it's missing its cover, it might just be a skeleton watch!
