The luxury watch client’s taste has certainly changed through the years. Before, it was all about the timepiece’s aesthetics and how beautiful it looked on the wrist or held through a chain. Afterwards, clients preferred watched that were filled with innovative functions and durable enough for any sort of activity. Today, one of the hottest types of timepieces in the industry is the skeleton watches—ones where the inner workings can be seen. Among many of such, Corum’s Admiral 45 Skeleton is easy to single out against the rest of its kind.

Pros
As customers want more transparency with the items they pay thousands of dollars for, Corum’s Admiral 45 Skeleton watch has this and more. The beautiful dials of the famous model have been taken out and all the screws, bolts, and the innovative functions of the timepiece are revealed to the clients. Despite such, Corum was still able to enthuse an interesting design detail to still incorporate an eye-catching aesthetic. Offered in various colorways, from seaside turquoise, sunny yellow, to fiery red, this new Admiral model still has a lot of glamour up its sleeve.
Cons
It’s relatively appropriate to describe the new Admiral 45 Skeleton watch as a niche timepiece as it is one that won’t garner interest from a generally-wide consumer audience. Especially with its highly-complicated face and functions, the watch requires owners and wearer who have the capacity and patience to understand such a piece. This isn’t one of those luxury timepieces where it’s obviously beautiful and can easily tell the time. The luxury here relies on its complexities and technological advancements.
