Can I have recommendations on good, reliable (as in not dying/breaking easily) skeleton/skeletonised/skeletonized pocket watches?
I would generally go for an older/antique watch, but there are vanishingly few of those which are skeletonised.
[I don't necessarily mind a Chinese movement - I have a reasonably attractive skeletonised wrist-watch with what must be a Chinese movement inside and I've had it and used it daily for at least 3-4 years (and it was ~10 years old when I bought it), so I would consider it reliable (though it is bloody loud, probably because of its cheap plastic "crystals").]
This one looks interesting, but I have no idea how good it may be/not be:
