Milus Merea TriRetrograde Seconds Skeleton watch

The acclaimed Milus Merea TriRetrograde Seconds Skeleton watch is a brilliant creation of luxury and horological sophistication for women.

Strikingly designed and superbly finished, this star of the Milus watch line displays intricate styling, masterful Swiss craftsmanship, and a fascinating mechanical heart that powers a mesmerizing triple retrograde seconds complication.

Classical yet provocative, the stainless steel or 18K gold case of the Milus Merea TriRetrograde Seconds Skeleton watch measures 35mm in diameter, and is refined with superb polish and distinctive styling elements, such as a cylindrical strap lugs with conical ends, and a crown which shares the same profile. The tripartite dial radiates delicacy and visual fascination, bearing a complex lace-like pattern of polished metal atop the dial base.

Despite this complexity, the eye is inevitably drawn to the cutouts in the dial center, which reveals the underlying mechanism that sparkles with delicate engraving, and the tiny ruby jewels that support the wheels and pinions of the mechanism. A gently domed sapphire crystal merges perfectly with the polished bezel, offering excellent protection from unsightly scratches. Watching time pass has seldom been so captivating.

Whenever the Milus Merea TriRetrograde Seconds Skeleton watch is running, the three small hands arranged around the center of the dial engage in a charming clockwise motion---over the course of 20 seconds, the hand in operation travels through its arc-shaped sector until it reaches the end, at which point it snaps instantly back to its starting position, and the next hand repeats this performance. The result is a highly novel display of the passing seconds, that will keep the viewer enraptured with the wonder of mechanical watchmaking. The self-winding movement, which has a power reserve of approximately 42-hours, can also be admired through an exhibition sapphire window in the screw- secured caseback. There, one can observe the pulsating balance wheel, which moves back and forth 28,800 times each hour, as well as the skeletonized winding rotor which bears the Milus signature in relief.

The Milus Merea TriRetrograde Seconds Skeleton watch is presented in stainless steel, 18K white gold, or 18K red gold. Each variation is available in an opulent diamond-set variant, whose bezels, winding crown, and strap lug end pieces are set with round brilliants. A fine alligator strap and a buckle signed with the Milus brand symbol complement the sophisticated design of the Merea timepieces.
