HM9 ‘Sapphire Vision’ RG Black

Presenting Horological Machine N°9 ‘Sapphire Vision’ – aka HM9-SV. An outer hull of sapphire crystal and precious metal, curved and bubbled and precisely fitted together in three parts, is sealed with a proprietary combination of patented three-dimensional gasket and high-tech compound bonding process. Two fully independent cantilevered balances channel data into a differential that turns two heartbeats into one coherent time-pulse. Ultra-precise conical gears efficiently turn the engine’s energy and information current through a 90° angle to feed the time display on a sapphire crystal dial, marked with Super-LumiNova. On the reverse, co-axial beneath each of the balances are propellers: twin turbines that spin freely as an element of pure visual interest, waiting for someone to begin a new type of exploration. Two years after the initial HM9 Flow ‘Air’ and ‘Road’ editions conquered land and sky, HM9-SV takes us to the depths of the ocean – the last realm on Earth that still holds a wealth of untold secrets. Before you is an exploratory vessel from Atlantis, powered by a divergent technology both familiar and strange to our eyes. HM9 Sapphire Vision comes in four editions, each limited to only five pieces: - two editions with 18K 5N+ red gold frame, combined with a NAC-coated black or PVD-coated blue engine; - two editions with 18K white gold frame, featuring a PVD-coated purple or red gold-plated engine.
