MB&F And Alain Silberstein HM2.2 "Black Box" Watch
Alain added a 22k blued gold (yup!) automatic rotor that is shaped like a battle axe. And yes, that is not just me talking, but the automatic rotor is intentionally shaped like a kick-ass weapon! On the side of the watch is a *** inscription that should sum it all up for you. “Le vrai bonheur est d’avoir sa passion pour métier,” which translates into “True happiness is having one’s passion for a profession.” I agree, and hence why I do the work that I do commenting and reviewing watches. I seem to be in good company with these two men. I look forward to hopefully checking out an HM2.2 Black Box watch sometime, though that chances of that are not likely. With only 8 pieces ever, and enough fans of both M&F and Alain Silberstein out there, these watch are gonna go fast (if not already).Technical specifications of the Horological Machine No2.2 direct from MB&F:Movement:Jean-Marc Wiederrecht/Agenhor designed functionality regulated and powered by a Girard-Perregaux oscillator and gear trainBalance oscillating at 28,800 bph22 k blued rose gold “Battle-AX” automatic winding rotorNumber of components: 349 including 44 jewelsFunctions:Left dial: Retrograde Date and Moon PhaseRight Dial: Jumping Hours and Concentric Retrograde MinutesCase:Silicium PVD coated titanium; limited edition of EIGHT piecesDimensions (exclusive of crown and lugs): 59mm x 38mm x 13mmWater resistant to 30 meters (3 ATM)Number of parts: 89 (case only)Sapphire crystals:Dial side with anti-reflective treatment on both faces. Display back with anti-reflective treatment on single face.The Titanium is coated in a special type of PVD that uses silicium in it (that haute material being used in some ultra high-end stuff). So aside from being exotic, why is this done? Well pretty watches only stay pretty so long as you don't get your mitts on them. Finger prints are the bane of a nice presentation. But Silberstein says that the new coating is highly resistant to fingerprints, so that the exterior of the case is most always looking presentable and clean. Love that he was able to accomplish this. Not only that, but the outcome is suppose to appear quite impressive. A good use of exotic materials for more reasons than just to be exotic.Inside the watch is mostly the same HM2 automatic movement that has always been a joy to check out.
