MB&F HM6 SV 'Sapphire Vision' Watch Hands-On
After I went hands-on with the HM6’s caliber as part of our Movement Hands-On Series in 2014, I thought it would be the last time for me to see this unique array of 475 components and 68 jewels. Happily, I was proven wrong the moment the?MB&F HM6 SV “Sapphire Vision” watch debuted last year, slipping this “engine”-as MB&F likes to call it-into a sapphire crystal sandwich.First, as we like to do, a bit of history for you. MB&F likes to praise itself as one of the starters of the sapphire craze, thanks to their mind-bendingly awesome Horological Machine 2 SV that they first launched in 2010. While the HM2 wasn’t a full sapphire watch per se (as you can see above, it still had a metal back plate), its complex single-piece sapphire front with its drilled holes certainly helped push the limits of the sapphire crystal supplier who made it.
Bovet Recital 18 Shooting Star Watch Hands-On?
If you ever want to truly and distinctly feel as though small horological gnomes are behind the design, production, and assembly of your high-end wrist watch, then something like the new-for-2016 Bovet Recital 18 Shooting Star is a good place to start looking. Few timepieces can combine such a sheer majesty of details, unconventional design, and complications in a package that is as much fantasy as it is a piece of functional, mechanical art.best watches debuted the Bovet Recital 18 Shooting Star watch here at the outset of SIHH 2016. Bovet isn’t a brand that presents at SIHH but, rather, nearby in Geneva at the same time. This is important to note because the brand doesn’t display at Baselworld either. I often like to place the brand in a thematically similar position as Parmigiani because, in their own way, each has a lot of watches that focus on technical merits and designs which, given Western standards, are unorthodox at best.
