Horological Machine No.1
not simply pushing the limits but creating a totally new dimension!

Hor-o-log-i-cal Ma-chine
1. 1. n. a device consisting of fixed and moving parts which modifies energy and transmits it to a more useful form, i.e., timekeeping.

MB&F presents Horological Machine No. 1
An all new, totally original three-dimensional timepiece, featuring: hour and minutes on separate dials, raised central one-minute tourbillon, 7-day power reserve, four mainspring barrels, both automatic and manual winding .

Horological Machine No. 1 (HM 1) is an extremely sophisticated timepiece on many levels: visually, technically and emotionally. As much, if not more, art and sculpture as micro-engineering. By designing and constructing a three-dimensional machine, MB&F have broken free of the constraints imposed by traditional horology.

HM 1 features a radical new design and construction plus a totally original movement with 376 parts and 81 functional jewels - yet only 30 per year are to be crafted over the next three years.
