TriPod

L'Epée 1839 x MB&F

TriPod comprises a minimalist clock face suspended between three delicate insect-like legs.

Overview

“Art begets art”, American author Susan Vreeland once famously said. And this is certainly true in the case of Tripod, the 13th collaboration between MB&F and Switzerland’s premier clockmaker L’Epée 1839.

TriPod comprises a minimalist clock face suspended between three delicate insect-like legs. It follows the mighty T-Rex, another half animal/half robot creation that MB&F calls Robocreatures. TriPod’s name originates in the trios that inform it: three legs, three insect-eye spheres, and three movement levels comprising the creature’s mechanical body. MB&F founder Maximilian Büsser describes Robocreatures; “In the same way that H.R. Giger created his Alien universe, we’re creating our own world of creatures”.
