HM11 earns its name Architect by the inspiration for its case design. It is a beautiful marriage of form and function, as its unique shape also aids the turning of the case, providing your fingers with a nice and easy grip.
Its inspiration comes from 1960s architecture, and when traveling back in time, one could imagine seeing this shape, enlarged to life-size, as a comfortable home built on a rock overseeing the Mediterranean. The dome of sapphire crystal would then be the central living quarters, with different rooms protruding from each side.
Not-so-empty rooms
The MB&F team obviously had great fun with this design, as they ensured that each ‘room’ had a specific function. One shows the hours and minutes, another the power reserve, and the third is a mechanical thermometer.
The last ‘room’ is perhaps the most unique, as this one features the sapphire crown to set the movement, simultaneously allowing you to peek into it.
The center dome is also not without a function, as MB&F shows the splendor of HM11’s flying tourbillon, mesmerizing you with its breathtaking dance.
