MB&F, REF. 007-0100-03-000, HOROLOGICAL MACHINE N7, «AQUAPOD» HM7, TOURBILLON, LIMITED TO 50 PIECES, TITANIUM AND PLATINUM
An innovative and fascinating, titanium, self-winding wristwatch with vertical movement and flying tourbillon. The dial features two rotating spherical rings displaying time vertically, with a central flying tourbillon and bioluminescent elements mimicking jellyfish anatomy visible through sapphire crystal. The movement is covered by a three-dimensional curved tentacle-shaped sector winding rotor crafted from titanium and platinum PT950. Grade: Case: 1-8 As new Slightly scratched Movement: 1* As new Overhaul recommended, at buyer's expense Dial: 1-01 As new HANDS Original Brand MB&F Model Horological Machine N7 Reference 007-0100-03-000 Year circa 2017 Bracelet Rubber strap with MB&F titanium pin buckle Diameter 54mm. Signature dial, case and movement Accessories MB&F Legacy Machine N°1 box, warranty card, instructions booklet, leather holder, leaflets Notes Last known retail price: CHF 108,000 (2018) This watch is in New Old Stock condition. The full international warranty will start from the date of purchase. The HM7 Aquapod represents a bold departure from conventional watchmaking: unlike most watches with horizontal movement layouts, this machine features a revolutionary vertical movement orientation—a defining characteristic that shapes its entire design philosophy. At first sight, the HM7 Aquapod strikes as a mysterious toy. Inspired by jellyfish, it captivates with super-luminova along the rotor that glows in darkness, tentacle-like winding rotor, and three-dimensional «floating» hour and minute numerals—all made possible by its unique vertical architecture. This vertical orientation isn’t just aesthetic—it’s an engineering marvel. The machine comprises over 300 individual parts working in vertical harmony to deliver 72 hours of power reserve. The winding rotor’s three-dimensional curved tentacles are crafted from titanium, presenting a significant manufacturing challenge for both machining and finishing. To ensure optimal winding efficiency in this vertical configuration, much heavier platinum is strategically hidden beneath the lightweight titanium tentacles. Salute to this breathtaking creative horological machine.Last known retail price: CHF 108,000 (2018)
