This one caught my eye. I like the minimal openworking. Not like a full openworked movement ala AP or Parmigiani. Photos from Chopard website: ...

They have done this Skeletec before on LUC models...not sure if I see a wow factor.

Agreed. They could have done so much more with this and it could have been a big win.

Was just about to say it takes the Skeletec approach
By: KMII : April 10th, 2024-12:47
Which I in principle like but not sure that I would prefer this to the other dials in the AE 🧐🤷🏻♂️

I was really looking forward to this one, but I am underwhelmed. I wish they would have done something more in the line of the Laureato Skeleton for example

If only the balance wheel is in the front or visible, see through from dial..then it will be awesome.

I think you might be right! Time to focus on something else, like maybe PF 😎

Yes I saw it last night and it’s very beautiful…a much better job on the skeleton design IMHO

The concept got my attention …
By: Cpt Scarlet : April 10th, 2024-09:29
Especially the slim case, however it’s a good example of why watches generally have dials.

It’s really surprising they could not do better here. They had a chance to further solidify the popularity of this collection and position in the market

It does feel a bit like making a skeleton just for the sake of doing so.
By: MichaelC : April 9th, 2024-22:08
I wonder what they would come up with if they did apply a real openwork method to the movement parts and not just the plates.

Really bad imo

Low effort skeletons look really rough to me. I like the closed dial variant of this watch a lot but this does nothing for me.

the skeletonisation is too superficial, they should have sticked with special dials with the gorgeous eagle feather pattern.

Any reason why this watch doesn't have the Geneva Seal or am I missing it?

Nothing much to see from the dial side for a skeleton..
By: S F : April 10th, 2024-02:08
comparing with GP Laureato and PF Tonda Skeletons,

Of course, no comparison. Chopard calls it "subtly open-worked components"
By: MichaelC : April 10th, 2024-14:52
But this execution is not true openworking like the models from AP, PF, and GP. It is more of a "glance", if you will ;-)

Got it! Was thinking why not go all the way.

Looks like we will see more plays with the dial on the AE from Chopard.

Yup. I would love to see what a real openworked version of this movement could look like!
