Steampunk Meets Sophistication : MB&F’s Horological Machine 3

The MB&F Horological Machine No. 3 (HM3) is a watch that truly stands out as an extraterrestrial wonder, often dubbed “Frog Eyes,” and has become an iconic symbol in its own right. MB&F collaborated with the legendary Jean-Marc Wiederrecht to merge imagination with mechanical structure seamlessly.

MB&F, renowned for its showmanship in advanced watchmaking, ranks at the top. Jean-Marc Wiederrecht, the mastermind behind Van Cleef & Arpels’ Pont des Amoureux and Harry Winston’s Opus 9, is one of the most outstanding watch designers. His excellence is such that when the Geneva Watchmaking Grand Prix introduced the award for watch design in 2007, Wiederrecht was its first recipient.

MB&F does not conform to traditional norms but represents a return to avant-garde style, and their timing couldn’t be more perfect.

The HM3 combines a counteraction movement with ceramic ball bearings and a steampunk-style flying saucer design. The full name, Horological Machine 3, embodies the cool extremity of this watch.
