In 1760, the French watchmaker Jean-Antoine Lépine developed the bold idea of making a slim pocket watch to inspire the customer’s love of pocket watches by revealing more mechanical mechanisms. This bold idea has been verified in later generations. People are obsessed with the exquisite movement and mechanical operation exposed, and fall in love with the tough style of mechanical metal and the romantic feeling of originality. Today, I will recommend three best high end skeleton wristwatches for each men who are interested with and fond of.
