The Downtown Skeleton Automatic
SEEN FROM EVERY ANGLE
Design with Nothing to Hide
The skeleton dial isn't a gimmick - it's the whole point. By exposing the skeletonized movement, the Downtown Skeleton Automatic turns the mechanism itself into the face of the watch. Hour, minute and seconds hands read cleanly against the open-worked architecture, so you get genuine legibility alongside the mechanical design.
The 42mm case in stainless steel keeps the design confident yet versatile, moving easily from the office to the evening. Anti-reflective sapphire crystal on both the front and the case back gives you a scratch-resistant, crystal-clear view of the movement — so you can watch the CORNAVIN-engraved rotor spin. A push-down crown with a debossed 'C' emblem adds a subtle brand signature, while 10 ATM (100 metres) of water resistance makes the watch ready for everyday life.
YOURS TO OWN
A Limited Edition of 999 Pieces
The Downtown Skeleton Automatic isn't a mass-produced watch. It's a limited edition of just 999 pieces, with each watch individually numbered on the case back. That number makes yours one of a kind — a genuine limited-run automatic watch rather than an anonymous item off a shelf.
Every piece is backed by a 2-year international warranty, so your Swiss automatic movement is protected wherever you are in the world.
The Downtown Skeleton Automatic is available in 12 variations. Every model in the collection is powered by the same Swiss CO.SK-42.2 automatic movement. A skeleton watch with nothing to hide - Explore the full Downtown Skeleton Automatic collection and find the edition that speaks to you.
TRANSPARENCY MEETS PRECISION
The Downtown Skeleton Automatic
Most watches keep their mechanics behind a closed dial. The Cornavin Downtown Skeleton Automatic does the opposite — it puts every gear, bridge and oscillation on open display, powered entirely by the movement of your wrist.
A great skeleton watch is an act of confidence. It removes the dial that hides a movement and dares you to look closer. That's the idea behind the Downtown Skeleton Automatic by Cornavin. A 42mm automatic skeleton watch built to be seen from every angle, protected by anti-reflective sapphire crystal on front and back, and produced as numbered limited editions of just 999 pieces.
POWERED BY SWISS ENGINEERING
What's a Skeleton Watch?
A skeleton watch strips away as much of the dial as possible to reveal the mechanism working underneath. A rotor turns as your wrist moves, winding the mainspring and keeping the watch running. Combine the two and you get a timepiece that shows you exactly how it stays alive — a living mechanical display on your wrist.
The Downtown Skeleton Automatic is exactly this: a Swiss Made, self-winding skeleton watch with an open architecture that showcases the caliber through a sapphire crystal front and back, including its signature CORNAVIN-engraved oscillating weight.
INSIDE THE MOVEMENT
The Cornavin CO.SK.-42.2 Calibre
The heart of the watch is the Cornavin CO.SK-42.2, a skeletonized Swiss automatic movement engineered to be both seen and trusted.
4 Hz frequency (28,800 A/h): The balance wheel beats eight times per second, giving the smooth sweeping seconds hand you expect from a modern mechanical watch and contributing to steady timekeeping.
38-hour power reserve: Take the watch off on Friday evening and, depending on wear, it can still be ticking into the weekend before it needs winding.
Bidirectional self-winding: The rotor winds the mainspring whether it turns clockwise or counter-clockwise, so everyday movement keeps the watch efficiently charged.
CORNAVIN-engraved oscillating weight: The rotor isn't just functional — it's a branded design element that moves as you move, part of the watch's open-worked show.
