Well that’s a lot of money for something that sits on your wrist. But then again, these timepieces are meant to be bought by the kinds of people that own yachts and private planes and mansions, so what’s a quarter million dollar wristwatch to them? MB&F is known for their lavish watches, and the HM6 Space Pirate is no exception. Looking otherworldly with its various bulbs, the piece is sure to attract attention at the country club.
In each of the four corners of HM6’s biomorphic case is a 360° sphere, capped top and bottom by transparent sapphire crystal domes. Up forward, two semi-spherical indications rotate vertically, displaying hours and minutes. Back aft, driven through multiplying gearing by the automatic winding rotor, twin spherical turbines spin horizontally, automatically regulating the winding system in case of excessive speed to reduce stress and wear.
The transparent central dome houses a 60-second flying tourbillon, the precision regulator of HM6’s Engine. This flying tourbillon can be protected from UV radiation, which speeds up oxidation of lubricating oils, by a retractable shield operated by a crown on the left side of the case.
While the transparent cupola on top of HM6 Space Pirate offers a tantalising glimpse into the sophisticated Engine below, the sapphire crystal display portal on the back reveals more of the 475 finely finished components..
There will only be 50 of these watches made, so order yours now. And then give us a call… we need funding.
