Plunged into the water like a jellyfish, the present watch has an organic design and is powered by mechanical tentacles with three-dimensional time display. The flying tourbillon tops the concentric vertical movement architecture with unidirectional rotating black ceramic bezel radiating out from the centre like ripples in a pond. While a jellyfish generates power from food caught in its tentacles, this aquatic HM7 generates power from its tentacle-like automatic winding rotor. The radially symmetric rings displaying hour and minute is a reminiscent of the neurons of jellyfish. Like many sea creatures, the watch glows in the dark on the numerals, around the inside of the movement and along the tentacle-formed winding rotor.

Offered in like new condition, the present watch is part of a limited edition of 66 pieces only and complete with all original accessories.

Please note MB&F has generously offer a complimentary service for the successful buyer of this watch within six months after purchase, including shipping fee of the watch to the MB&F atelier in Switzerland and an one-year warranty will also be provided.
