seiko divers watch
The ultraluxury auparavant garde watchmaking organization of MB&F will release final versions of its exceptional Horological Machine No 1 timepiecean exclusive haute horlogerie creation defining the concept of a mechanical watch as kinetic sculpture. The HM1 was introduced in 2007, and has since paved the way for additional Horological Machineseach presenting a new and distinctive vision of exceptional luxury watchmaking. Two final editions of the MB&F HM1 watch will be offered, both restricted to a series of ten pieces. The HM1 Black watch features an 18karat white gold case with a stealthy black PVD finish. To create a striking visual effect, the centralized tourbillon cage is blackened, and both the hands and gold "battle ax" winding rotor are finished in a brilliant shade of blue. MB&F's HM1RS watch employs the luxurious aura of 18karat red gold to make its own, equally striking statement. The opulent shade of this gold alloy emphasizes both the fineness of the movement finish, and the architectural complexity of the case itself. Inspired by the respiratory and circulatory systems of the human body, the MB&F Horological Machine No 1's selfwinding movement is a joint realization of independent watchmaker Peter SpeakeMarin and engineer Laurent Besse. Beneath each of the Cotes de Geneve decorated lobesrepresentative of the lungsare two spring barrels each, which feed energy to the heart of the mechanismthe centralized tourbillon escapement. Sapphire discs on each of the two dial hemispheres present hours and minutes. MB&F replica watches MB&F Horological Machine No 1 Bell & Ross replica watches have plumbed the depths of the ocean, and conquered the skies, marking significant and demanding moments of human acheivement. It is perhaps no surprise then, that the Swiss watch brand has chosen to equip intrepid French parachutist Michel Fournier in his upcoming stratospheric skydive, which if successful, will smash all existing high altitude sky dives including the pressurized 31,300meter jump of American Joseph Kittinger, and the 24,483meter free parachute dive of Russian Evgeny Andreyev. Both of these records have stood since 1960. In late May 2008, over Saskatchewan, Canada, Michel Fournier will ascend within a pressurized capsule attached to a balloon, to an nearspace altitude of 40,000 meters, or nearly 25 miles! Upon completion of his monumental leap, Fournier will be able to claim several world records at once; these include experiencing the longest freefall, which will have a duration of 6 minutes and 25 seconds, and being the first skydiver to surpass the speed of sound. Not just a colossal milestone for the human spirit, "The Big Jump" promises to be a treasure trove for science and medicine, as it will provide invaluable insight into how the body performs and reacts under exceptional and unusual stresses. The Bell & Ross BR 02 Instrument watch will accompany Fournier during the course of the historic "Big Jump". Just as intensive conditioning of mind and body are crucial to the success and survival of Michel Fournier himself, no ordinary timepiece can be expected to endure the drastic pressure variations, excruciatingly low temperatures, Gforces, and cosmic radiation that this event will subject it to. In every aspect, both inside and out, this Bell & Ross timepiece has been uncompromisingly designed to handle such stresses and provide absolute reliability.
