The short answer

The closest alternative to the Knot Watches Knot Timepiece Automatic Open Heart Small Seconds is the Orient Peanuts 75th Anniversary Limited Edition Open Heart ($495) — open-heart / skeleton and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Swatch Septante Blue covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Orient Star Semi Skeleton is the standout microbrand take — open-heart / skeleton and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Hamilton Jazzmaster Skeleton Auto ($1,475) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
