附帶L'Epée 空白保證卡、說明書、一對手套及外盒。
Melchior機械人座鐘在2015年巴塞爾世界鐘錶展面世，限量生產99座。它是MB&F 與 L’Epée 合作的第二個系列。L'Epée創立於1839年，專門製作高級座鐘，零件由人手製作，多年來創新不斷，享譽鐘錶界。
這座外型獨特的座鐘的設計靈感為「充滿創造力的大人，內心都還住著一個小孩」。座鐘外殼採用鍍鈀黃銅、精鋼、紅色陽極氧化鋁合金及拋光玻璃，功能包括掃式分鐘、雙逆跳秒數顯示及跳時。它搭載的L'Epée機芯含不少於480個零件、17顆寶石，提供40日動力儲存。
此座鐘的設計概念是由MB&F與設計師Xin Wang共同研發。機芯調節器是機器人的腦部，指揮座鐘的精確運行。Melchior機械人雙眼內有紅色轉盤，每20秒逆跳一次；旋轉小盤和固定的顯示窗，製造出眨眼效果，使Melchior更人性化。Melchior胸口兩個轉盤分別顯示時分。此外，它的左前臂是一條可以拆除形如一把機關鎗的上弦鑰匙。
如同《星球大戰》中天行者盧克的機械人同伴R2-D2 一樣， Melchoir 是忠誠、足智多謀的朋友；它定能滿足大人們渴望擁有機械人夥伴的童年夢想。
