The short answer

The closest alternative to the Norqain Independence Skeleton Simon Moser Special Edition is the Norqain Wild ONE Skeleton Spengler Cup Limited Edition ($7,514) — open-heart / skeleton and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Tissot Chemin des Tourelles Skeleton at $1,100 (vs $4,990 for the Independence Skeleton Simon Moser Special Edition) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Duxot Atlantica Skeleton Automatic is the standout microbrand take — open-heart / skeleton and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the IWC Schaffhausen Iw357701 Big Pilots Watch Shock Absorber Tourbillon Skeleton Xpl ($102,900) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
