Alpine Eagle titanium
This one caught my eye. I like the minimal openworking. Not like a full openworked movement ala AP or Parmigiani.

Nice contrast between hands and background...
...which most open-work designs fail to provide...
Was just about to say it takes the Skeletec approach
Which I in principle like but not sure that I would prefer this to the other dials in the AE 🧐🤷🏻♂️
Your nest is already well packed!!
It will need to be a special Eagle to get in there
The concept got my attention …
Especially the slim case, however it’s a good example of why watches generally have dials.
It does feel a bit like making a skeleton just for the sake of doing so.
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.
really not nice 🙅🏻♂️seems broken
the skeletonisation is too superficial, they should have sticked with special dials with the gorgeous eagle feather pattern.
Nothing much to see from the dial side for a skeleton..
comparing with GP Laureato and PF Tonda Skeletons,
Of course, no comparison. Chopard calls it "subtly open-worked components"
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.
