The watches introduced at Basel World 2009 proved to have spectacular mechanical innovation. Many proudly displayed their inventive, complex, and refined mechanisms through clear dial cases.
The MB & F Horological Machine No 3 (above), is sure to inspire awe when you wear it; its kinetically active movement will impress. Each watch is a highly complex machine comprised of more than 300 fine-finished, high-precision components. Usually time indications can be found on the dial side of a movement. What makes the HM3 so unique is that its movement is turned upside down to allow the viewing of a swinging, battle-axe-shaped automatic rotor and fast oscillating balance wheel.

Greubel Forsey’s Quadruple Tourbillon has four asynchronous tourbillons, and their asymmetrical format provide clear visibility to the carriages on the dial side. This allows the wearer to see the spectacular mechanism within.
