Mods, if this violates any forum rules, feel free to delete. I thought you guys would be interested to see the new piece unique that MB&F has made for the Only Watch auction in Monaco. The auction is to raise money for muscular dystrophy.

Dear Friends,

The whole team is very proud to present the “Only Watch” piece unique HM2 co-created with celebrated Californian artist Sage Vaughn. This piece will be auctioned at Monte Carlo on September 24th to help research against Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

The whole movement of the HM2 is trapped by real three dimensional gold barbed wire which symbolizes the illness trapping the child’s body. In Sage’s works the butterfly represents innocence and hope, and here the blued gold butterfly has one of its wings clipped, because unfortunately for the moment, there is no hope for children suffering from DMD…

On a technical note, check out the amazing sapphire top plate with two domes braised onto it – A premiere in our industry where sapphire had never been soldered before.

If you have a few minutes, here is the link to the specific Only Watch chapter on our website: MB&F - Maximilian Büsser & Friends - Horological Machines

If you have any questions, just email me. And if you can spread the word around you about this amazing piece, it would be highly appreciated.

Thanks again for your help in supporting research against Duchenne Muscular Distrophy.

 

That is an amazing looking piece.

 

Wow Steve, that is amazing. Any clue as to the range it will sell for?

 

not my style but phenomenal nonetheless...

 

No idea. The standard HM2 is $66,000, so anything above that will be gravy. Hopefully it will raise a lot of money as it is an amazing piece and for a great cause!
