MB&F Horological Machine no. 2.2 Black Box

MB&F has collaborated with noted French watch designer Alain Silberstein to create the Horological Machine No. 2.2. Although Alain Silberstein is noted for his use of colours and pattern, fir this watch, he has creates a watch affectionately known as 'Black Box', all Bauhaus purity and restraint.

The watch retains the twin porthole dial and profile of the original Horological Machine no. 2. The flying-buttress lugs were maintain, but the rest, rethought and rebuilt. The design is much like miniature box camera of the 40s. The new watch is lighter and more whimsical.

The watch offers the following complications; retrograde date, moon phase, instantaneous jumping hour and concentric retrograde minutes. Yes it tells the time as well. The movement is an automatic movement beating at 28,800 A/h.

MB&F Catalogue.... sort of...

For those who are interested in the MB&F may have noticed that the brand does not have a catalogue. So this is a close as you can get to their catalogue. Have a good introduction into the brand. According to MB&F, they rather invest their resources into research and development. Indeed an interesting company.

MB&F watches

MB&F makes one of the most unique and beautiful watches I have seen. MB&F was founded by Mr. Maximilian Busser, the former Managing Director of Harry Winston Rare Timepieces and is the creator of the revolutionary Opus series. Working with his friends, hence MB&F (Maximilioan Busser & Friends), MB&F creates some of the most contemporary timepieces in the world. MB&F creates one new horological machine each year and fewer than 200 total timepieces are produced annually.
