MB&F HM6 RT Watch In Red Gold
Recently, the Red Dot Design Awards for 2015 were held in Germany - and one of the big winners in the watch category was the MB&F HM6. MB&F was the only mechanical watch to earn a coveted Red Dot: Best of the Best award (the Apple Watch also won, but of course, it is not mechanical). In honor of that award, MB&F is releasing the second version of the HM6 known as the MB&F HM6 RT - which replaces the titanium case of the original MB&F Horological Machine No. 6 with one in 18k red gold. Not just any red gold, but one with palladium in it which stabilizes the copper. They call this alloy 5N+ (5N is the term for 18k red gold).What does that mean? It is basically the same concept as Rolex's Everose gold or Omega's Sedna rose gold. That means that over time, the copper is not as prone to wearing out causing the gold to turn more yellow, versus staying red gold. We have spoken at length about the MB&F HM6 watch when debuting it here. I encourage anyone to visit the p

Fueled by his love for horology and the more unusual timepieces of the 21st century, he quickly grew fond of Urwerk and their unique ways of displaying time. In fact, he liked them so much, that he set out to harness his studies as an engineering student and design and craft his very own homage to his favo

Bumble-Bee, take this with a grain of salt...
Took a trip over to the Natick Omega Boutique at lunch time and the staff revealed THEIR assertion that the Co-Ax Seamaster Aqua Terra Anti-Magnetic (code name Bumble-Bee) will be available in February 2014 at a retail price of $6,600.No reason to doubt the man who said this, just always take AD's information at arms length, since they are more interested in sales than factual accuracy. If true, this seems reasonable for such a break-through watch and the timing seems a little delayed like most U.S. allocations of new pieces. I think I read Europe may have them by the end of October? Thought some of might like to know...If true, come February, this will be mine! oh yes, it shall be mine!!! Mooo-wah-ah-ah-ah-ah!! <---said in my best sinister laugh while wringing my hands.

The movements are all the same !!I am new, still learning, this didn't sit right with me, all thesame ???? I will check it out on TRF!I told him have a nice day,and promptly left.HELP!!!! was he right ??????I didn't think so. (sorry, long story)Educate me !!!!!THANKS

Incoming 5905p
Needless to say, I am thrilled to have this baby inbound. I would like to send a huge thank you to Socal to az. I was recently in NY for the exhibition and fell in love with the blue 5905p. As much as I liked the watch, somehow the buckle on the strap seemed inconsistent with that level of watch. Then I came across the Socal post where he had ordered it with the depolyant clasp and that clinched it for me. The pictures of that strap on the watch solved the inconsistency. So, thank you again for helping contribute to my addiction.
