MB&F

The Fifth Element

The latest horological triumph by MB&F is another collaboration with L’epée 1839 and one that measures time, air pressure, temperature and moisture in the air. Offered in a 15-kg steel-and-brass vessel, it even comes with its own alien pilot to boot, Ross, who is perched on a rotating wheel controlled by an air-regulated movement. Timekeeping is done via L’epée 1839’s eight-day clock movement; the clock, hygrometer, barometer and thermometer can all be removed from their mounts and interchanged or placed on any table top as an independent device.
