  • Catalogue Essay

    - Released in 2008, the Horological Machine No. 2 by MB&F exemplifies the brand's passion and vision for creating technically revolutionary and visually unconventional three-dimensional kinetic machines.

    - Featuring flying buttresses and bolted portholes, the present HM2 reminds one of space platforms straight out of 20th century science fiction.The dial with two round portals separates the time indication from the date and bi-hemisphere moon displays. The large rectangular case with locking push crown houses a “machine” that is a wonderful example of micro-engineering, featuring an instantaneous jump hour with retrograde minute and date sectors.

    - The automatic movement, visible through a sapphire caseback porthole, is micro-engineered by Jean-Marc Wiederrecht, watchmaker and founder of Agenhor.

    - Preserved in excellent condition, the present Horological Machine No. 2 is part of a limited edition of 66 pieces and is further accompanied by its full set of accessories. However, according to the book "MB&F the First 15 Years, A Catalogue Raisoné" only 26 pieces were made in this configuration.
