The short answer

The closest alternative to the Charlie Paris Watches INITIAL 36 - Ajourée Rose Gold (36mm automatic) is the Tissot Chemin des Tourelles Skeleton ($1,100) — skeleton_dial and Visually similar. If price is the constraint, the Swatch Body Soul Leather at $200 (vs $695 for the INITIAL 36 - Ajourée Rose Gold (36mm automatic)) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Charlie Paris Watches INITIAL - La Mano (40mm automatic, collab) is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Miyota 8N24) and skeleton_dial. Stepping up, the Hamilton Jazzmaster Skeleton Auto ($1,475) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
