Skeleton design on watches refers to the transparent or partially transparent dial and movement that allows the wearer to see the intricate inner workings of the watch. This design showcases the mechanical components, such as gears, springs, and balance wheels, creating a visually captivating and unique timepiece. Skeleton watches are often considered a blend of artistry and horological craftsmanship.

In order to keep accuracy, mechanical movements have jewels installed to reduce friction and wear. To bring that feature forward, jewels are mounted onto the dial to illustrate visually the functionality of it.
