Machine MB&F and Boucheron join forces to create the ultimate watch for the femme fatale.By Ariel JastrombFor the woman who has it all, this year's most dazzling accessory is sure to surprise and inspire. MB&F, the Swiss master of the modern luxury timepiece, has collaborated with the House of Boucheron, known for its exceptional jewelry and gems. This union celebrates the past and present by partnering the 152-year-old Boucheron label with the five-year-old MB&F to create something entirely otherworldly. The result is the JWLRYMACHINE, a stunning feat of design that encompasses both a first-class watch and a uniquely decadent bracelet, and is sure to be passed from generation to generation.The JWLRYMACHINE is Boucheron's haute-joaillerie take on MB&F's Horological Machine N3, which was conceived in 2009. The HM3 is lauded for surpassing the technical and aesthetic limits of horological design, and was created by the most forward-thinking, creative artisans, well-versed in both traditional and cutting-edge construction. Defined by the placement of a kinetically energetic engine on the top of the watch and twin cones that rise magnificently from its three-dimensional sculpted case, the HM3 is a work of art that also happens to tell time flawlessly. Its engine sits over both the oscillating balance and battle-axe-shaped MB&F symbol Plus Size Wedding Dresses, and allows a clear view of both.Maximillian Bsser's MB&F collective of exceptional artisans pool their creativity and visions to produce only one watch per year. This fact illustrates the dedication and specialization that go into each and every timepiece, with the goal of creating original and even radical watches that function with the utmost sophistication.MB&F's artisans must machine, hand-finish, and assemble all 305 parts of the watch's engine, working to a tolerance of a micron, or one-thousandth of a millimeter. The 22-karat rose gold "mystery" rotor has a visually symmetrical placement, rather than off-center-the more obvious and common choice. These are only a few of the HM3's impressive, exclusive features and provide an example of truly impeccable craftsmanship.It is only fitting that Boucheron, a brand known for its incredible attention to detail, should team up with MB&F. The watch, heavily encrusted with the finest jewels, is devised as a precious owl and is available in two tones: 18-karat white gold with amethysts, diamonds, and purple and blue sapphires; and 18-karat red gold with pink tourmaline, rose quartz, diamonds, and pink sapphires.Set over the twin cones, the owl's eyes are composed of gleaming cabochons and, due to the unique construction of the watch, its heart appears to actually "beat." The owl's glittering wings embrace the watch's engine, which is decorated with the finest pav-set brilliant-cut stones. Its noble breast, carved from a single block of either amethyst or rose quartz Half Wigs, scintillates.These touches lend an air of supreme originality rare in a jewelry item, let alone a timepiece. Elegantly mysterious surprises like these are a hallmark of Boucheron's finest designs and, along with MB&F's reputation for innovation, continue to draw repeat customers the world over.MB&F, 310.470.1388, mbandfTags: Boucheron, Horological Machine, JWLRYMACHINE, luxury jewelry, luxury watchRelated Article:
