Having captivated the world with its soaring tourbillon and perfect symmetries over the last two years, the jellyfish-inspired HM7 Aquapod emerges from the depths for a new outing in 2019, this time in the most precious of metals and an arresting new shade – along with three-dimensional, “floating” hour and minute numerals.
One of the most startling visual aspects of a jellyfish, almost alien in how far it is from the mammalian systems with which we are familiar, is its transparency. How can something so diaphanous and seemingly insubstantial be alive? HM7 Platinum Red homes in on this point, replacing the battle-axe tourbillon bridge of previous Aquapod versions with a clear sapphire component. The flying tourbillon of the HM7 engine is revealed like never before, highlighted by a halo of high-luminosity AGT. [links]
The deeper you go in the ocean, the less colour you see. Red is the first colour to disappear, being on the lowest end of the visible light spectrum and thus most easily absorbed by water. This is why you find a higher concentration of red sea creatures in the deepest waters — being red makes them almost invisible to predators. Deep-sea jellyfish often have red stomachs as a form of protective camouflage, as their transparent bodies would otherwise allow predators to spot them via their stomach contents.
Labor Day Weekend should be spent barbecuing, not cleaning. So kick back and take full advantage of the holiday by letting the Roborock S do the laboring for you. The robot vacuum's high-precision laser navigation system maps out your entire home in real-time, and all your need to do is schedule a cleaning with a few taps on your phone. Its built-in algorithms calculate the most efficient way to clean, and its fourteen sensors prevent collisions, increase surface awareness, and keep the vacuum safe from falls, all while you're manning the grill. Equipped with the largest batter in class, the S6 will run for up to 3 hours, giving you enough time to get in a game, or two, of corn hole.

Available in ceramic-coated matte black, silver, or raw machined brass, it is a lifetime companion to elevate your back-of-the-envelope calculations. [links]
“The organic jellyfish-inspired design of HM7 Aquapod is counter-balanced by the very mechanical horology within: a central 60-second flying tourbillon tops the concentric vertical movement architecture, with indications radiating out from the centre like ripples in a pond. Like many jellyfish, HM7 glows in the dark: on the hour and minute numerals, around the inside of the movement and along the tentacle-like winding rotor.”
The deeper you go in the ocean, the less light you see – and red light is the first to disappear. Thus, deep-sea jellyfish often have red stomachs as camouflage, and it’s these creatures that inspired the Platinum Red version of MB&F’s HM7 Aquapod.
” The 303-component (391 for the Platinum Red edition), 72-hour power reserve HM7 Engine was developed in-house by MB&F. Spherically three-dimensional, all its mechanisms – from the winding rotor at the bottom, to the flying tourbillon on top – rotate concentrically around the centre. The curves of the high-domed sapphire crystal are mirrored in the shape of the time display rings. ” Limited to just 25 examples. And with price tag $165,000 you could become one of the most expensive watches in the world.

HM7 Aquapod emerges from the depths for a new outing in 2019, this time in the most precious of metals and an arresting new shade along with three dimensional, “floating” hour and minute numerals. Unlike previous incarnations of Aquapod, which indicated the hours and minutes via rotating rings with transferred numerals, HM7 Platinum Red features three-dimensional numerals sculpted in titanium ( Used for the first time in any MB&F ).
The stems attaching the hour and minute numerals to their respective mounting rings are rendered black with a coating of DLC (diamond-like carbon), completing the ethereal floating effect that one associates with the sight of a jellyfish drifting with the ocean currents. The watch is made up of a total 391 components with a 72-hour power reserve.
MB&F creation, red is not a color that immediately comes to mind when thinking of marine life — but it has a very particular significance when it comes to the jellyfish. The deeper you go in the ocean, the less color you see. Red is the first color to disappear, being on the lowest end of the visible light spectrum and thus most easily absorbed by water. This is why you find a higher concentration of red sea creatures in the deepest waters being red makes them almost invisible to predators.

Limited series of 25 pieces, each presented with three interchangeable straps (red, white and black) in air craft grade rubber. [links]
