However, just when watchmakers and enthusiasts thought this watch couldn't get any better, MB&F gave it a luxurious makeover. The HM6 Space Pirate watch is a luxury timepiece with a few galactic features. In the four corners of the biomorphic case are 360° spheres. Two semi-spherical indications rotate vertically, displaying hours and minutes while twin spherical turbines spin horizontally, regulating the winding system. In honor of winning the Product Design 2015 Red Dot Award, MB&F has revamped the space-like watch and replaced the [titanium case](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mp17-meca10) with a 8k red gold case. In addition to the gold, this new [limited-edition HM6 Space Pirate](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emc-sr71) also features a small amount of usual palladium. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.6/10 - Popularity: 90% | Activity: 71% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/watches) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Luxury Timepieces:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore new materials and designs to enhance the luxury and exclusivity of high-end watches. - **Galactic-themed Watches:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporate futuristic elements and space-inspired designs into watchmaking for a unique and captivating aesthetic. - **Limited-edition Collectible Watches:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create exclusive and limited-edition timepieces that cater to collectors and enthusiasts, combining craftsmanship with rarity. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Luxury Goods:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Leverage technology and innovation to create high-end products that elevate the luxury goods industry. - **Watchmaking:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Embrace new materials, mechanisms, and designs to revolutionize the traditional art of watchmaking. - **Collectibles:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Utilize technology and limited availability to create collectible items that appeal to passionate enthusiasts and collectors. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Luxury Space-Themed Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/space-themed-timepiece.md) - [360-Degree Rotation Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mbf-hm11-architect.md) - [Art Deco Horological Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hm11-art-deco.md) - [Galaxy-Inspired Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ur-100v-lightspeed.md) - [Starship-Inspired Dynamic Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magellan-automatic-star-trek-warp-speed.md) - [Fanciful Futuristic Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hublot-mp10-tourbillon.md) - [Retrofuturism Metallic Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/girardperregaux-casquette-20.md) - [Futuristic Otherworldly Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spaceone-worldtimer.md) - [Opulent Flyback Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mbf-1.md)
