Bell Ross also currently offers a standard three-hand non-skeletonized version of the BR 05, a GMT, and also a two-regist [...]
In 2015, Corum revived its popular Bubble watch with three new models. One of them was the Corum Bubble Skeleton.

Just recently, I attended the 185th Anniversary celebration by Longines watches in Beijing, China.
