<\/figure>\nThis is the case at MB&F. Collective\nGeneva watchmaker led by Max Busser, the brand started producing, there\na few years ago, table clocks. So much so that the object was passed,\nfor a good century, in the row of the oblivion… MB&F has resurrected it in\ncollaboration with L’Ep\u00e9e. Flying machines, spiders,\nrobots: the table clock has become quirky, playful and trendy again.\nThe latest, Grant, is in the form of a lunar rover and\nmodular that will look great on a designer desk. <\/p>\n\n
Independent Fiona Kruger was successful\nthe Skull watch that everyone dreamed of. Until then, all the brands\nwas in a hurry to make round watches with a dial representing a\nskull, more or less successful. Fiona Kruger literally designed a watch\nwhose case itself is a skull. Fiona Kruger’s Skull is masculine\nor feminine, black or in color, joyful and atypical. A total success of a\nindependent designer who has brought creativity and femininity to the model.<\/p>\n\n
In the decoration and complication department,\nGeneva-based ArtyA dares to do anything… as long as it’s a unique piece. His\nThe last Lion’s Head is a high-flying minute repetition, regulated by a\nwhirlwind. However, the most impressive feature is the dial, engraved directly\nin titanium – a feat considering the hardness of the material – then\nenhanced with gold. Inspired by the Renaissance, but deeply offbeat, the piece\nproudly displays its serial number: 01\/01. <\/p>\n\n To this register of great\ncomplications, Hysek probably won the gold medal. The room wears well\nits name: Colossal. It uses an exclusive display mode, the roll.\nThis display is rare in watchmaking because it is particularly energy consuming. It is\nvery difficult for a movement to have sufficient power to do so.\nmove more than two or three. That’s why the roll display is the\nmore often, reserved for the date only. However, Hysek has managed to extend this\nprinciple to a perpetual calendar, completed with a moon phase and a second\ntime zone. A tour de force of extraordinary complexity for a watch\nwhich happily exceeds 1,000 components. <\/p>\n\n Christophe Claret is a watchmaker\ndifferent from the previous ones: before launching under his own name there is\na few years, the man has accumulated two decades of innovations in the service of\nthe biggest brands. Technician of the shade, master of the big bells,\nman has developed for his own account an extreme piece, the well named\nX-TREM-1. Its principle is simple: to associate, in the same movement,\nclassic watchmaking and its sworn enemy, magnetism. Until then considered\nas the major disturbance of the precision of a watch, magnetism has here\nhas been tamed in a watch where it allows the gravitation of two steel spheres\nThe first one indicates the hours, the second the minutes. Unveiled\nin 2012, the X-TREM-1 has no equivalent in the watchmaking industry and will have none\nprobably never. Its latest version offers a beautiful case in\nDamascus steel.<\/p>\n\n France is progressively occupying this\nniche of independent, creative and daring fine watchmaking. Last\nborn: Phenomen. The brand is based in Besan\u00e7on and combines a\nmovement developer from La Joux-Perret, a watchmaker from\nGreubel Forsey and a designer from the group’s creative studio\nPSA. Together they created the Axiom, a first piece with 100% movement\nhouse with a sumptuous automotive design. Its exhaust placed\nat noon and its linear and retrograde display of the time make it an object of\nbeautiful mechanics, supported by a sensual, subtle and masculine design. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" True spurs of the great traditional manufacturers, independent watchmakers are moving the lines of watchmaking creativity, shaking up habits, breaking codes for the to the great pleasure of collectors in…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":31534,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[732],"tags":[765,767,947,816,766],"powerkit_post_featured":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/lhonoremagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/MBF-1.jpeg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lhonoremagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33400"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lhonoremagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lhonoremagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lhonoremagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lhonoremagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=33400"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/lhonoremagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33400\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":33401,"href":"https:\/\/lhonoremagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33400\/revisions\/33401"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lhonoremagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/31534"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lhonoremagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=33400"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lhonoremagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=33400"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lhonoremagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=33400"},{"taxonomy":"powerkit_post_featured","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lhonoremagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/powerkit_post_featured?post=33400"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/lhonoremagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/ChristopheClaret_Xtrem1-Damas_03-1.jpeg\")
