Many characteristics - both technical and aesthetic - of the Predator collection are inspired directly from racing cars and are found throughout the watch. Despite the watch's avant-gardist nature, the Predator is crafted with respect to horological tradition.

To highlight the unique refinement and simplicity of the tourbillon there is no dial. Hands of the hours and minutes are diamond-cut, hollowed, and then treated with high-visibility Super LumiNova, ensuring excellent legibility and a brighter vision of time.

MB&F - HM3 Poison Dart Frog Limited Edition

MB&F - HM3 Poison Dart Frog Limited Edition NEW

POISON DART FROG:
A new special Frog joins MB&F

 

The deadly potential of the poison dart frog is camouflaged in the tropical rainforest by this amphibian’s exotically-patterned black and yellow skin.

Similarly, the high-tech zirconium case of Poison Dart Frog is disguised by a sleek, black layer of PVD. The black case contrasts spectacularly with the animated rotor – framed by an over-sized date wheel – on top of the Jean-Marc Wiederrecht-designed complication.

The protruding eyes of real-life, amphibious frogs enable them to see in many directions without having to turn their head.

The bulbous hour and minute domes of Poison Dart Frog create a similar effect, though in this case it means the wearer can easily read the time from a variety of angles without having to turn his or her wrist.

The hour and minute domes had to be meticulously machined from solid aluminium, chosen for its optimal strength to weight ratio – the domes weigh just over 0.5g. First, they are milled from the outside and then the inside to arrive at a paper-thin wall thickness of just 0.28mm, ensuring their energy requirements are kept to an absolute minimum. Protecting the hour and minute domes are two semi-spherical sapphire crystal domes that had to be shaped and polished with utmost precision as the slightest imperfection in the sapphire could produce a disconcerting magnification effect.

HM3 Poison Dart Frog may portray the time and date playfully, but there is nothing but serious attention to detail regarding the fine hand-finishing of the highly-tuned engine that purrs away inside.

This limited edition is available exclusively at The Hour Glass.
