Melchior

L'Epée 1839 x MB&F

Melchior was one of MB&F’s 10th Anniversary Pieces, presented in 2015 under the theme ”A creative adult is a child who survived”.

Overview

Founded in 2005, MB&F celebrated its first decade in 2015. To commemorate this milestone, the Geneva-based Horological lab presented a number of Anniversary Pieces during the year, under the theme: ”A creative adult is a child who survived”

The first piece was Melchior, created with L’Epée 1839: an impressive kinetic robot which may remind you of your childhood dreams, but also happens to be an impeccably finished, 480-component mechanical table clock.
