With a\u00a025-piece limited edition run of the MB&F HM3 Megawind Final Edition<\/strong>, Max B\u00fcsser and his Friends are finishing off Horological Machine No.3<\/strong>\u00a0and its movement family.<\/p>\n

Between light and darkness<\/h2>\n

With Megawind Final Edition<\/strong>, the closing model in the HM3<\/strong> series, MB&F<\/strong> present what may well be the ultimate in contrast: light and dark.<\/p>\n

The darkness of the black PVD-treated 18k gold case and blackened 22k gold and titanium rotor is punctuated in the dark by the bright green glow of Super-LumiNova. And the light emanating steadily from the indications is in contrast to the stroboscopic flash of light as the rotor covers\/uncovers a bright band of lume at the top of the movement.<\/p>\n

For this Final Edition, MB&F<\/strong> has called on the latest high-performance Super-LumiNova available on the market today: GL C3 Grade A. This is not only the brightest but also the purest form of the luminescent material, recognisable by its typical green hue; while Super-LumiNova comes in many colours, the active pigments are always green and other colours partially mask the green glow.<\/p>\n

Derived from the iconic HM3<\/strong> series, MB&F<\/strong>\u2018s most successful model to date, Megawind Final Edition<\/strong>\u00a0combines an oversized winding rotor dial side with highly-legible time indication cones rising up from the asymmetric case: hours are displayed on the left, minutes on the right. An exceptionally-skilled artisan painstakingly applies Super- LumiNova on these conical indications by hand, one numeral after the other, with a small syringe \u2013 consistently squeezing out just the right amount of the luminescent paste.<\/p>\n

While the viewer\u2019s gaze will naturally be attracted towards the three-dimensional sculptures housing the hours and minutes, it is likely to be the giant battle-axe shaped winding rotor that mesmerises the eye as it swings unhurriedly, but indomitably over the meticulously hand-finished movement. It\u2019s in the dark however when the rotor really comes alive with light.<\/p>\n

Megawind Final Edition<\/strong>\u00a0is powered by the beautifully engineered, Jean-Marc Wiederrecht-designed HM3<\/strong> engine. Placing the rotor and regulator on the dial side required an inverted movement, which was only possible thanks to two large high-tech ceramic bearings \u2013 visible through the display back \u2013 that efficiently transmit time up to the revolving hour and minute cones above. Rotating domes of this size and shape posed several technical challenges. The hour and minute domes are machined from solid blocks of aluminium, chosen for its optimal strength-to-weight ratio; this keeps energy requirements to an absolute minimum.<\/p>\n

Close inspection of the case \u2013 which comprises over 50 separate components \u2013 is rewarded with a myriad of carefully considered details, including the bevelled perimeter of the rotor display crystal that adds visual flair as the angles catch and reflect flashes of light; the bespoke clover-head gold screws; and the cleverly integrated lugs attaching the strap.<\/p>\n

HM3 Megawind Final Edition<\/strong>\u00a0is a limited edition of 25 pieces in black PVD-treated 18k gold and titanium, with Super-LumiNova numerals and band under the rotor.<\/p>\n
