SIHH 2019: MB&F Medusa
SIHH 2019 is upon us once again, seeing MB&F working with L’Epée 1839 for the 10th time this year. Again, anytime the two collaborate, I applaud, as anything out of the ordinary to express time and downright unnecessary merely breathes life into this industry as a whole. Pray tell, what do we have this year? Did the watch gods read my mind? We have a jellyfish clock, people!
Enveloping the piece is a striking hand-blown Murano glass dome to mimic the rippling body of this sea critter, available in vibrant pink, green and blue options. Finding a glassblower capable of such a project was no easy feat, with Epée having approached upwards of 40 companies before they found their chosen one.
Part horological machine, part art piece, the Medusa is available in only 50 pieces per colour variation and can accompany you either on your desk or mounted on the ceiling.
Clock on, MB&F. Clock on.
