Ah, to be a visionary of horology (which is the art of making timepieces or measuring time, of course—and not whatever else the term might bring to mind). Max Busser of MB&F is a horologist, and has presented a new timepiece called the Horological Machine No.2.2.
The Horological Machine No.2.2 kind of resembles an old-school cassette tape, but it’s so much more than that. It features a glossy black finish courtesy of a special DLC coating that is resistant to finger stains. Two dials show the date and moon phase as well as the hours and retrograde minutes.
