The originality of the skeleton watch is that both wearer and onlooker can revel in the magical spectacle of a micromechanical construction in motion. Increasingly, women are no longer simply satisfied with a highly functional watch that stops every two to five years when the battery runs out. What they now seek is the almost existential beauty of the mechanical genius behind the tiny beating heart of an automatic watch. Perhaps because of the metaphorical symbolism of the giving of life as only a woman can understand? Perhaps because of her sensitivity to the aesthetic charms of a watchmaking movement whose balletic display transforms it into the ultimate, essential accessory? The perfect accompaniment for an outfit, the ideal colour match, the pay-off between the long hours spent tracking down the tiniest detail and the final distinctive touch that makes it stand out from the crowd.

Eye-catching design and colour scheme

Swiss watchmaking brand, Pilo & Co Genève has designed and manufactured the new Tempo Squelette Dame especially for women. The 38 mm diameter steel case and sparkling bezel set with 50 varied and colourful stones, are a nod to good taste and assertive elegance. In a play on contrasts, the watches are available in several versions. Three models come in steel with daring touches of blue, pink and white, two are PVD-coated to symbolise pink gold and combine to perfection with ivory or black on a finely worked dial. A splash of Luminova, used to capture and harness light to let it glow at night, animates these companion timepieces in a visual allusion to the passing of time.

Supplied with a leather strap secured by a deployant buckle, the Tempo Squelette Dame packs a whole host of refined details catering to the feminine need to stand out from the crowd. These contemporary design watches are as tantalising to the eye as they are enjoyable to wear. And who wouldn’t want to inspire the admiring glances and comments of those around them?

A Geneva brand respectful of tradition

Designed in the style and manner of the ‘Cabinotiers’, the timepieces produced by the Swiss brand, Pilo & Co Genève, capture the original spirit of ‘La Fabrique’, that period in history when the independent workshops stood in defiance of the large factories. They distilled within their midst the essence of top-quality watchmaking craftsmanship, combined with the artistic sensibilities of the jeweller. This enviable status allowed them to pursue a never-ending cycle of renewed creativity.

The collections produced by Pilo & Co Genève are built around the concepts of design, fine watchmaking, jewellery, trends and affordability, in the simultaneous desire to offer prestige and quality. The Geneva watchmaking brand sells its various collections in all four corners of the globe in the same ethos of tradition, excellence and quality.
