The Mono Effect

Posted: 29 May 2014 06:26 AM PDT

One of the biggest assets that The Mono Sink has is its minimal approach towards lines and bevels. The other highlight is that on the sink’s side there is an overflow, which, alongside with the outlet is designed to manage a maximum water flow rate without any problems. Crafted from Cristadur, an innovational material, the finishing of the sink is superb!

MB&F Legacy Machine 101 Features First In-house Movement

Posted: 29 May 2014 02:47 AM PDT

As a watch enthusiast, I understand the pain and pride behind developing an in-house movement. So this time around when MB&F announced their Legacy Machine 101, my interest piqued as it houses the very first movement developed entirely in-house by MB&F. Dominating the dial is a monumental suspended balance wheel, which is another point of interest in terms of design and functionality.

Classically sized as a 40mm wristwatch, the Legacy Machine 101 (LM101) features two pristine-white subdials and is placed above the sunray-engraved movement top plate: the top right showcases the highly legible hours and minutes that are indicated via blued-gold hands and the 45-hour power reserve indicator is displayed in a smaller, but similar subdial below.

What I really like about the design is that the sapphire crystal protecting the dial appears to be invisible; thus creating an illusion that you can touch the balance wheel. The display back crystal has been domed to reduce the thickness of the caseband and also showcases the hand-finished movement.

Inspired by the pocket watches from the eras gone by, the award-winning independent watchmaker Kari Voutilainen is the man behind the movement’s fines finishing. Legacy Machine 101 is available in an 18k red gold or 18k white gold case.

Legacy Machine 101 – Technical Specifications

  • Engine: Three-dimensional horological movement developed in-house by MB&F
  • Aesthetical design and finish specifications: Kari Voutilainen

Designer: MB&F

Feel the Time

Posted: 29 May 2014 12:01 AM PDT

The Ehsaas (feel) watch was designed on the principal of the Braille reading system to give sight-impaired users a familiar and easy way to tell the time. Over a glass layer, an advanced electronic active polymer material raises against an overlying plastic substrate. Pixel circuits form and change with the time in the form of Braille so wearers can feel time. Vid after the jump!
