MB&F, who is one of the star brands of “exotic watches”, has announced a new table clock just before Baselworld 2018. The model, which is a co-creation from the partnership of MB&F and L’Epee, not only provides information about the time, but also provides other informations, such as air pressure and temperature.
The design, which houses 4 different sub-dials, is inspired from 1950’s UFO ships and alien designs. 4 sub-dials, each provides different measurements such as hour, thermometer, barometer, hygrometer, can be removed and used seperately on demand.
