The rest of the movement, though contemporary in architecture, features quite a bit of classical finishing. Three prominent gold chatons surround the jewels on the main bridge, and turning the movement around reveals many more at varying depths. All of the wheels show off handmade anglage. It’s important to note that this watch is named the SP One, or Special Project One, because it’s not exactly the shaped craziness of the Horological Machine or the classical-leaning nature of the Legacy Machine, but rather somewhere in between.
The case silhouette may be simple, but the movement is still very much designed in the spirit of the brand. The caliber is surrounded by a bevelled flange internally coined the “amphitheater,” adding a hint of sky blue to the platinum model and a subtle warm anthracite touch to the rose gold model. On both top and bottom are sapphire crystals with anti-reflective coating, showing off both the movement and your wrist hair with precise clarity.
The SP One is available through MB&F retailers and is priced at $76,000 for the 18K rose gold model and $82,000 for the platinum model.
