The latter is best known for his use of bold colors and geometrical shapes. Built on the HM2 platform, the Black Box is a subtle reminder of these signature touches, while having a look that is unique yet distinctively MB&F. Presented in November 2009, Horological Machine N°2.2 “Black Box” is a limited edition of 8 pieces and is sold out.
