Watches with a skeleton dial turn attention away from timekeeping and inwards toward its mechanical movement
A Lasting Tribute
TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph Tourbillon x Senna
TAG Heuer pays tribute to racing legend Ayrton Senna with an exquisite Carrera Chronograph Tourbillon watch, seamlessly merging luxury craftsmanship with a rich motorsport legacy in a limited-edition homage to the iconic driver. The TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph Tourbillon x Senna is created with exceptional attention to detail that embodies Senna’s spirit. For instance, the black carbon bezel, adorned with the engraving “Senna” and a tachymeter scale that extends to 400 km/h, reflects the speed and accuracy that characterized Senna’s illustrious career. A notable sub-dial positioned at 9 o’clock showcases Senna’s branding, while the vibrant yellow accents on the dial pay homage to the iconic color of Senna’s helmet logo.

A Stealthy Quality
Bell & Ross BR 05 Skeleton Black Lum Ceramic
Earlier this year, Bell & Ross transformed urban watchmaking by introducing its BR 05 Black Ceramic collection with three new models. Among them, the BR 05 Skeleton Black Lum Ceramic stands out the most, with its case and the integrated matte black ceramic bracelet having a sportier, more boldly graphic appearance thanks to the matte surface of the sandblasted ceramic, which plays on the material’s ephemeral effect. Its dial, on the other hand, is made of a black smoked sapphire crystal, which is the backdrop for the rhodium-plated skeletonized hands adorned with high-shine green luminescent material.
