Horological Machine Nº11 “Architect”: A Horological Work of Art by MB&F
The Horological Machine Nº11 “Architect”, the latest creation from the MB&F watchmaking house, is inspired by architectural concepts to reinvent the traditional watch. With this timepiece, MB&F not only manufactures watches, but also creates unique stories and experiences that transcend time and space.
Architectural Inspiration at the Heart of Design
Inspired by the experimental architectural movements of the 60s, the HM11 “Architect” is a watch that fuses space and time through its design. Its structure, evocative of humanist architecture, features forms that seem to emerge naturally, recalling the bubbles, undulations and arches of the era’s constructions.
A Central Flying Tourbillon: The Heart of the Maison Horlogère
The centerpiece of the HM11 is its central flying tourbillon, located beneath a sapphire dome that evokes both a temple and a zygote in cell division. This tourbillon, visible through the transparent roof, symbolizes the fusion of art and mechanics.
Une Montre à Vivre : A Unique Experience
The HM11 “Architect” is not just a watch to wear, but a watch to experience. Each part of the watch offers a different function, and the entire structure can be turned to load the barrel, offering a dynamic interaction between the object and its wearer.
Advanced Technology and Innovative Design
This timepiece incorporates cutting-edge materials and techniques, notably titanium and sapphire crystal, making its manufacture particularly complex. Its transparent sapphire crown and multiple watertight seals reflect MB&F’s technical innovation.
Limited and Exclusive: A Collector’s Item
The HM11 “Architect” is limited to 25 pieces per edition, making each watch a rare collector’s item. Its design, combining aesthetics and functionality, makes it a desirable piece for connoisseurs and collectors of fine watchmaking.
