Horological Machine No. 2
Simply black: Alain Silberstein springs a surprise with his new case for Horological Machine No. 2 - Limited Edition of 8 Pieces
It takes a lot to surprise followers of MB&F, but the latest version of Horological Machine No2, with a case created by French artist watch designer Alain Silberstein, may well do it. Alain Silberstein is widely known for his bold use of colour and pattern – and one might have expected the adventurous Maximilian Büsser to push that tendency to the limit. But no, the two have come up with what they affectionately call the “black box”, all Bauhaus purity and restraint. It is crafted like a jewel, but Silberstein says that it reminds him of the miniature box cameras of the 1940s.
The case, in silicium coated PVD Titanium, measures 59mm x 38mm x 13mm. It is water resistant to 30 meters. The case itself is comprised of 89 parts.
