Another ingenious design by the mechanical master. replica MB&F HM11 Watches
Three years after the launch of the HM10 Bulldog, independent watchmaker MB&F finally launches its latest creation, the HM11 Architect. True to the brand’s playful and original signature style, the HM11 features an architecturally inspired case with a central flying tourbillon and four arms, each with a vertical display or crown.
house built by machine
Sixteen years after launching its first horological machine, MB&F still manages to preserve and convey its original spirit of creating watches based on innovative elements: cool and interesting cases as well as clever movement designs that transform simple watch functions into captivating display.
This is never more evident than in the HM11 Architect, which boasts an impressive case and display, proving once again that watches can be as incredibly creative as futuristic machines. The case is built around the concept of a house, with four symmetrical rooms and a domed roof made of sapphire crystal.nice watches shop
It goes without saying that this case makes a bold statement on the wrist as there is nothing like it on the market. Despite this, the case diameter is only 42 mm, making it small compared to many earlier watches. That's good news because it's still eye-catching, but now can be worn on more wrists.
Ozone blue or solar red gold
The HM11 Architect is available in two styles, both with titanium cases and different colors for the dials, or more precisely, the movement bridges. The first watch features an electric blue hue, which the brand aptly named “Ozone Blue,” while the second features a “Salmon” dial, which the brand describes as capturing “the warm solar tones of red gold.” ".

Then there’s the movement, which is simple but undeniably smart. It is consistent with the architectural theme of the case, with a symmetrical bridge of horizontal movement shaped like an arch, forming a quatrefoil when viewed from above. In addition, four vertically inclined bridges gradually rise from the edge of the box towards the center, further highlighting the architectural theme. replica Urwerk UR-230 Eagle
Delving deeper into the nuances of the movement, both the barrel and the tourbillon take center stage. It’s worth noting that the display is arranged differently than a traditional dial. They undergo a transition from horizontal to vertical positioning and are housed in peripheral "rooms".
The use of vertical displays is a nod to the HM4 launched in 2010. The display at six o'clock shows the hours and minutes, and there is a power reserve indicator at nine o'clock. In addition, the crown at three o'clock can be used to set the time. buy watch replica
The display at 12 o'clock is an old-fashioned bimetallic thermometer based on a temperature range of -20 to +60 degrees Celsius. The thermometer's display looks cool because of the visible strips in the background, but it's a separate component and not part of the movement. While some may view it as an afterthought, filling an otherwise empty space, it certainly completes the overall design of the watch.
It is worth noting that winding the watch is not done through the crown at three o'clock, but by rotating the entire case. MB&F says that 10 turns of the case is enough to wind the central barrel, powering the replica watches for sale for 96 hours, or four full days.
The incorporation of a central manual winding is a clever idea for two reasons: first, the user has to rotate the case to see the vertical displays on the different sides, and in doing so, it folds up and winds the movement. The second reason is that winding the watch using the case is more practical than using the crown because it is easier to grip and turn.
