The Horological Machine N°9, or HM9, is available in four editions, with each edition being limited to five pieces
HM9 Sapphire Vision
The MB&F watch is inspired by automotive and aviation design
There is only one word to describe this watch: outrageous. First introduced by MB&F in 2018, the Horological Machine N°9, or HM9, has been inspired by automotive and aviation design from the 1940s and 1950s. In the Sapphire Vision, the watchmaker has replaced the titanium casing with a sapphire casing, giving a clear view of its intricately-designed movement, which MB&F describes as the most beautiful movement it has created so far. It is available in four editions, with each edition being limited to five pieces. It is priced at 420,000 CHF (indicative price in India Rs 3.34 crore).
