The short answer

The closest alternative to the Merkur 100% Skeleton Tourbillon Watch is the Orient Modern Skeleton ($725) — open-heart / skeleton and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Swatch Easytippay at $130 (vs $410 for the 100% Skeleton Tourbillon Watch) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Merkur Tourbillon Watch Transparency is the standout microbrand take — same family (Tourbillon) and skeleton_dial. Stepping up, the Orient Avant-garde ($1,765) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
