Introducing the MB&F Horological Machine N°9 ‘Sapphire Vision’
Before we talk about the stunning and complex assembly that is this Sapphire Vision, take a moment or three to indulge the beauty of the HM9 engine. MB&F’s 18th movement is conceived and assembled in house. There are double balances, located in the uppermost hemispheres, operating independently for a stable chronometric rate. At the heart of the movement is the iconic battle-axe, and a single barrel that can hold up to 45 hours of power, and the time display is in the form of a single vertical dial.

The working and polishing of the sapphire components take around 350 hours per watch.
The HM9-SV uses a patented three-dimensional rubber gasket in its tripartite case where the sapphire crystal is fused with the metallic frame with the help of a high-tech bonding compound. This makes the watch water resistant up to 30 meters.
HM9 Sapphire Vision comes in four editions, each limited to only five pieces: two editions with 18K red gold frame, combined with a NAC-coated black or a PVD-coated blue engine; and two editions with 18K white gold frame, featuring a PVD-coated purple or a red gold plated engine.
