In a world where luxury watches have evolved into mechanical masterpieces with space-age design and technology, MB&F has successfully balanced itself as a brand that pushes the boundaries while preserving the traditional art of watchmaking. Through collections like its revolutionary Horological Machines and more classic Legacy Machines, Max Büsser and his team continue to bring seemingly complex sketches to life for collectors and enthusiasts with an eye for something truly spectacular. Today, MB&F is proud to add to its horological legacy with the announcement of its all-new Special Projects collection, inaugurating the occasion with the reveal of its SP One.
Initially nicknamed “Three Circles,” the all-new SP One showcases a subtly complex design with floating components encased around a fully transparent dial. Its sizable 38mm pebble-like case, with a bezel-free design and detached lugs, is offered in both 18k rose gold with an anthracite bevelled flange and platinum with a sky-blue bevelled flange. While the SP One is MB&F’s thinnest watch, it’s not about competing for the title of the slimmest watch in the world. Thanks to sapphire crystals on the front and back, the barrel, the balance wheel, and the dial are reimagined to be floating in mid-air.
The SP One movement, handcrafted by MB&F, features a manual winding mainspring barrel and an impressive 72-hour power reserve. Running at 18,000 vibrations per hour, the movement is made up of 191 components and 31 jewels, all brought together with obsessive attention to detail. You’ll find expert hand-finishing throughout, including internal bevel angles, polished bevels, and hand-made engravings set against anthracite bridges with a ruthenium finish. Comfortable calfskin leather straps and material-matching pin buckles make MB&F’s newest, time-only SP One a daily wear for collectors of all kinds.
