All the clearbacks have me wondering...

...does anyone make a totally clear watch? All from glass/crystal with very little metals?

That would be cool.

Maurice Lacroix Masterpiece Skeleton comes to mind.
Not cheap at 4600 dollars MSRP, but quite stunning in person. The pic does NOT do it justice.
It's not my cup of tea, but I stared at all the little gears for quite a while when I had it in my hand.

Now that's what I'm talking about. An engineers dream. I don't think I'd buy one, but it sure is fun to look at! THANKS.
