Recently, the HM2-SV has introduced which is a teaser shot of the upcoming Sapphire Vision version of the MB&F HM2 watch. This unique aspect of the watch is the large 3.6mm thick sapphire crystal that serves as the front plate of the watch in lieu of metal. Its result is an ability to see the MB&F automatic movement that powers the double faced timepiece.
The right dial has jumping hours and a retrograde minute scale while the left dial of the watch displays the date and a moon phase indicator. Only 25 of this watch will be made there. Whereas this limited edition volume is not unheard of, it is relatively low given how popular MB&F watches are in high-end watch lover circles.
The problem is the sapphire crystal as there are so hard to make. During the process of making them, three out of four crystals break that takes 55 hours for the crystal alone to break. The hardest part for the screws is drilling the hopes. The back plate of the watch is in titanium while the automatic rotor is 22k gold in its iconic battle ax shape.
So, here are full images of this watch that shows the incredibly complex large sapphire crystal plate over the watch in its full glory.
So, I think this is an awesome watch from the world of high horology.
