Ann — Wed, 23 Jun 2010 13:01:55 +0000

After the creation and presentation of the ultimate Frog timepiece the talented designers from the MB&F have claimed that they are ready to present one more novelty featuring even more original and radical design. The movement of the Horological Machine No4 Thunderbolt was presented to public in March 2010 during the fair in Basel. According to watchmakers from MB&F it took them 3 years to develop the movement comprising 311 parts among which there are developed and created specially for this model balance wheel and hair spring.

It seems that after creation of such super complicated watches as Horological Machine No2 housed by the case consisting of more that 100 parts or Horological Machine No3 with 3-D cones it will be rather difficult for the company to amaze the watchmaking community again. At the same time the horological masterpieces created by the specialists from the MB&F team serve as a perfect evidence of their talent, imagination and innovative approach to creation of watches. The representatives of MB&F said that the more detailed information about the novelty will be published on July 7, 2010.
