What to know
MB&F’s HM11 Architect treats the wristwatch as a miniature building. Four rounded chambers radiate from a central flying tourbillon, separating the time display, thermometer, power reserve and sapphire setting crown. The blue edition uses a grade 5 titanium case and white rubber strap, giving the mechanical structure a deliberately futuristic character.

The entire case rotates on its base, allowing the wearer to choose the display orientation while winding the movement. Its manually wound engine offers 96 hours of reserve. The case measures 42mm across and 23mm high, with 20-metre water resistance. The original blue version was limited to 25 pieces.
