MB&F and Sarpaneva Shoot for the Moon with New Horological Machine
Finnish independent watchmaker Stepan Sarpaneva has joined MB&F’s growing circle of “friends,” collaborating with MB&F founder Max B¨¹sser to develop the newest MB&F “horological machine,” called the HM3 MoonMachine. Designed on the platform of MB&F’s unconventional “Frog” model, it features an entirely new moon-phase complication designed by Sarpaneva.Sarpaneva, who worked with brands such as Piaget and Parmigiani, and with watchmakers like Vianney Halter and Christophe Claret, before starting his own brand in 2003, has become known for three signature themes: moon-phase indicators with distinctive, expressive “faces,” based on his own face, engraved on the moon; the use of stars and constellations from the northern sky of his native Finland; and the use of a crenellated case shape that he refers to as “Korona.” All of these elements are present in the new model, which MB&F (which stands for Max

Zenith El Primero Lightweight Limited Edition Skeletonized Watch
Zenith really seems to have mastered the ability to surprise with their new models while still respecting their proven formula for distinctive and lust-worthy sport chronographs. While it is a bit of a stretch to call any El Primero "garden variety", the new Zenith El Primero Lightweight LE is certainly not your Dad's El Primero (better?). This new high-tech model offers a number of cutting edge enhancements all made in the name of saving weight. With a movement crafted from silicon and titanium and a case in carbon and aluminum, this is essentially the El Primero Superleggera.This new El Primero (ref 10.2260.4052W/98.R573) has actually been upsized over the standard El Primero Striking 10th models, from 42 to 45mm.

ZENITH Heritage Pilot Cafe Racer
The Heritage Pilot Caf¨¦ Racer by?ZenithZenith is taking a break from the sky and returning to dry land: as the name suggests, Heritage Pilot Caf¨¦ Racer is inspired by the famous British motorbikes from the 1960s. The bikes were stripped back to basics (single seater, almost inexistent body, straight and low handlebar) to reach speeds of 100mph and their raw retro look oozes from the new model by Zenith.The Heritage Pilot Caf¨¦ Racer has a sleek vintage steel 45mm case containing the self-winding El Primero 4069 calibre (50-hour power reserve) with "Caf¨¦ Racer Spirit" engraved on the titanium back.Its textured slate grey dial bears an hour rim whose large Arabic numerals are coated in beige Super-LumiNova?. There are two vintage-style hour and minute hands whilst the seconds appear at 9. The chronograph seconds stand in the centre and the minute counter lies at 3.Price: 7,400 CHFBy Sharmila Bertinzenith

When would you take your Patek...
