Audemars Piguet Special Editions Alinghi Replica

MB&F's Audemars Piguet Special Editions Alinghi Replica foundational idea has been to involve "friends" in the creation and maintenance of new pieces. All of us can recall our Audemars Piguet Special Editions Alinghi Replica collaborations with Alain Silberstein (on either the HM1 and the LM1), Black Badger, or Kari Voutilainen's participation in the decoration for the LM movements. The MoonMachine was another collab that remained in the minds of Audemars Piguet Special Editions Alinghi Replica collectors. Stepan Sarpaneva used the HM3 base to create its famous moon-face complication. We are back, and both sides join forces to create the MB&F MoonMachine 2 based on HM8.The HM8 is the basis of the new MB&F MoonMachine 2. Before we get into the details of the new watch, let's take a look at the HM8 (also known as the "CanAm").First, Audemars Piguet Special Editions Alinghi Replica the name HM8 is not a logical progression. The HM8 was launched just after the HM6 and before the HM7. It is the summation of two parts. You can view it as a mixture of the HM5 for the driver's display and the HM3 for the Astro-shaped rotor at the top. HM8 = HM3 + HM5... Simple!Audemars Piguet Special Editions Alinghi Replica

The HM8 Audemars Piguet Replica was based upon MB&F’s vertical display of time. It is placed Audemars Piguet Special Editions Alinghi Replica perpendicular to the movement. These watches are a direct tribute to the 1970s models made by Girard Perregaux, Amida Bulova, Bulova, and Mido. You don't need to raise your wrist above the steering wheel to see the time. This display was first introduced on the HM5 and then used on the HMX.Audemars Piguet Special Editions Alinghi Replica The module displays the hours and minutes using bi-directional, overlapping disks that rotate horizontally above the movement. High-tech sapphire prisms display the hours and minutes vertically.The original HM8 case was inspired by racing cars (the aerodynamic body-work design Audemars Piguet Special Editions Alinghi Replica of this piece with its roll bars riveted to it) and the HM3. This case has the inverted movement visible under a sapphire glass and the rotor at the top. We now have the provenance of HM8, so we can talk about Mr Audemars Piguet Special Editions Alinghi Replica Sarpaneva's second collaboration for the new MB&F MoonMachine 2.Audemars Piguet Special Editions Alinghi Replica

Same team Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Replica the same inspiration, the same concept, but a different Audemars Piguet Special Editions Alinghi Replica result. The MoonMachine 2 watch is complex both technically and visually.The HM8 already had two design icons from the Horological Machine Audemars Piguet Special Editions Alinghi Replica collection, the battle-axe rotor and the heads up time display that was first seen in HM5. The MoonMachine 2 adds the signature Sarpaneva moon-face. This watch has many features, which may sound overwhelming. Complex shapes, different textures, layers and levels, interesting Audemars Piguet Special Editions Alinghi Replica display... All of it blends seamlessly.What has changed since the HM8's? First and foremost, there is now a moon-phase complication. To highlight the visual impact of a lunar disc appearing in a small space, the MB&F MoonMachine 2 uses the same mechanism (glass prisms), to display time. An optical prism is used to project the hours, minutes, and Audemars Piguet Special Editions Alinghi Replica moon discs as though they were perpendicular to each other. For greater legibility, the prism can be cut to magnify hours and minutes by 20%. However, it cannot magnify the moon-phase display as this could cause Audemars Piguet Special Editions Alinghi Replica distortion.

Because of swiss replica watches the incoporation moon complication, the case is 0.5mm Audemars Piguet Special Editions Alinghi Replica thicker to support the additional mechanism. It also features a pusher on one side to correct the moon's age. The rotor is the second difference between MB&F MoonMachine 2 & HM8. Stepan Sarpaneva's design vocabulary has inspired the transformation of the battle-axe rotor into a radial Audemars Piguet Special Editions Alinghi Replica network of titanium openworked with radial wires. The complex pattern can also be found on the superior surface, as well as the sapphire crystal pane that Audemars Piguet Special Editions Alinghi Replica frames the top of MoonMachine 2's engine.The watch features three of the Sarpaneva Moon-Faces. Two are on the moon disc to show the moon's age, and one is on the top of the winding wheel. Each moon is hand-finished and made from gold. The moon disc's two smaller moons measure Audemars Piguet Special Editions Alinghi Replica 4.5mm in size and 0.35mm thick, while the larger moon on top of it is 8.5mm in width and 0.45mm thickness. Hand-finishing is delicate.The MB&F MoonMachine 2 is available in three versions: one in full titanium, with white-blue moons and a bright-blue sky; another in blackened titanium and with white-blue moons;Audemars Piguet Special Editions Alinghi Replica
