Having impressive clockwork isn't generally seen on watches. I just looked at Rolex, and as far as I can see none of their watches show the clockwork under normal circumstances. Also their logo isn't prominent on some of their watches and on some entirely absent. I'd think that spending a few grand on a watch you'd want it to not look bad and be pretty darn reliable.
If showing the clockwork was a way to impress people skeleton watches would be more popular.
