MB&F x Sarpaneva MoonMachine 2 Limited Edition 18K Rose Gold and Titanium Watch Ref. 81.RTL.B W/Box and Papers (Only 12 Produced) - The MoonMachine 2 is an extraordinary collaboration between MB&F and Finnish independent watchmaker Stepan Sarpaneva, merging mechanical innovation with sculptural design. Limited to just 12 pieces worldwide, this horological masterpiece redefines the concept of a moonphase complication through MB&F's signature architectural creativity and Sarpaneva's artistic precision. The impressive 49 x 51.5mm case is crafted from a sophisticated blend of 18K rose gold and titanium, resulting in a bold yet balanced aesthetic. The intricate multi-level construction features optical-grade sapphire prisms that project the time from within the movement to the dial's surface, a hallmark of MB&F's futuristic engineering. Beneath the sapphire canopy lies a mesmerizing openworked face showcasing the titanium battle-axe rotor in a radial web pattern, surrounding Sarpaneva's iconic three Moon-Faces. One Moon graces the top of the winding rotor, while two hand-finished 18K rose gold Moons animate the anthracite-sky moon disc, indicating the lunar age with celestial charm. Inside beats a three-dimensional engine based on a Girard-Perregaux caliber, enhanced with Sarpaneva's moonphase module. Comprising 293 meticulously finished components, the movement delivers a 42-hour power reserve and embodies the avant-garde spirit of MB&F's Horological Machines. Offered in estate condition with manufacturer's box and papers, this MoonMachine 2 represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of the most imaginative and collectible independent timepieces ever created, a poetic fusion of art, astronomy, and mechanical ingenuity.
