MB&F sculpts amphitheater and floating dial inside the transparent watch SP one
Briefly

MB&F has unveiled the SP One, a groundbreaking transparent watch featuring a trilogy of levitating elements—barrel, balance wheel, and dial—encased between sapphire crystal domes. Part of the Special Projects collection, this model represents the brand's slimmest and smallest design. The watch is bezeless, allowing for an unobstructed view of its visible mechanisms. The unique amphitheater design, borrowed from Greco-Roman theater aesthetics, showcases its inner workings. Time is displayed at the bottom of the elements through a circular piece with triangular hands, adding to the piece's modern allure.
