(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 mechanical crutches and thus would be no elegant solution (but certainly 'complicated' in terms of parts count;-))).
Keep in mind that my comment was more of an 'inspriation' than any sort of critique. The watch is really well done and lovely executed.

A superb work on the Cal 13 RO, which makes a great Watch! A Watch I totally ignored! Thanks for putting the lights on it. Well, the jewelled version is less, much less my taste, because it brings some bling to a Watch which is, in my opinion, perfect wit...

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...

"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
I like various versions ;)
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 ...
