Both transparent and versatile, the Epos 3429 Skeleton wristwatch transforms effortlessly into a pocket watch, simply by releasing the case attachment system in one of the brancards (vertical sides). A foldaway stand means it can also be admired as a desk clock. The Unitas 6498 calibre is thus reunited with its original function, which is to equip pocket watches. Epos has decorated this movement with engraving, while skeletonisation creates magnificent transparency.

Such meticulous finishing is highlighted by the simplest of dials, comprising a minute track, small seconds and hour-markers, and proposed in a choice of colours that includes ruthenium grey and bright green: further proof of the versatile nature of this transformable timepiece, produced as a 2,015-piece limited series.
