Openworked

Watch enthusiasts often confuse the terms openworked and skeletonized when describing movements that reveal a watch's inner workings. According to the Fondation Haute Horlogerie, skeletonized movements involve cutting away plates and bridges to expose wheels, while openworked can refer to dials that partially or fully reveal the mechanism. Brands like Audemars Piguet use openworked for their skeletonized creations, adding to the terminology mix-up.
