This is shown in a lot more detail here, with an animation of the Wankel-style movement of the watch. The 12 numbered dials at the bottom form a half-circle, a 180-degree display that the movement passes along twice daily. A minute indicator spins above the hour indicator on the movement itself, and the result shows an accurate measure of time that is startlingly easy to read. Ultimately, it is the visual aesthetic of this watch that has us so spellbound. MB&F and URWERK are two of the most progressive watch makers of this young century, and this collaboration showcases the best of both worlds. We’re hoping that this is the first of many collaborations, and we celebrate the complex, inventive machinery they’ve created in this one.
