2 New Drops From Massensa Lab & MB&F Are Giving Next-Level Luxury
Just when we thought we'd seen it all in the world of watches, two new timepieces turn our heads. From an artistic creation with levitating components, to a piece born of a stellar collaboration – here are two new drops you need to get on your wrist now! MB&F SP One MB&F has unveiled SP One, the inaugural release in its newly introduced 'Special Projects' collection. As the brand nears its 20th anniversary, it reflects on its unconventional approach — driven purely by creativity rather than business plans or market research. This philosophy has inspired the independent watch brand to revisit past sketches, turning unrealised intuitions into boundary-pushing timepieces. Somewhere between its Horological Machines and Legacy Machines, the SP One embraces an undefinable aesthetic. It highlights three levitating elements spanning the barrel, balance wheel and dials, all of which appear to 'float' within the case. Encased in a 38mm pebble-like case, the SP One exudes understated elegance with a bezel-free design and detached lugs. Despite being MB&F's slimmest and smallest timepiece to date, the watch stays true to the brand's three-dimensional architecture and visionary craftsmanship. Its in-house movement is built around the fundamental components of a mechanical watch, featuring a signature balance wheel at 2 o'clock, a tilted dial showcasing that brand's expertise in conical gearing, as well as a manual-winding suspended barrel that delivers an impressive 72-hour power reserve. Sapphire crystals on both the front and back further enhance the illusion of levitation, making the movement appear to float within its intricately crafted framework. Available in two versions, one in 18k rose gold with an anthracite flange and a platinum variant with a sky-blue flange, both are available for US$76,000 (~RM323,038) and US$82,000 (~RM348,541), respectively. If you'd like to cop your own watch, then visit MB&F's official website. Massena LAB x Raúl Pagès Noctograph Massena LAB and independent watchmaker Raúl Pagès, who also won the first LVMH Watch Prize, have collaborated on a limited-edition Noctograph for the third time. The Noctograph, which is synonymous with the pair's priceless partnerships, has a 38.5mm case diameter that is both thin and functional. It features a simple and eye-catching dial design in a two-tone colour scheme and is housed in stainless steel. The dial's mainplate has a vertically brushed finish and is delivered in a soothing midnight blue. The dial is surrounded by a rhodium-plated chapter ring with a radial-brushed finish and a black railway track that indicates the hours and minutes without appearing cluttered. A tonal small seconds display at six o'clock, leaf-shaped hands, and a delicate Massena signature complete the dial. The M660 movement, a Swiss-made calibre with a 60-hour power reserve, is the central component of the watch. The sapphire open caseback displays the calibre, allowing the hand-chamfered plates and bridges, as well as the Côtes de Genève finishing, to be fully appreciated. The watchmaker's tortoise-shaped signature, Poinçon Pagès, also gives the complex mechanisms a distinctive look. There are only 99 units of the Massena LAB x Raúl Pagès Noctograph globally. You can save yourself a unit by pre-ordering now at Massena LAB's official website for US$2,500 (~RM10,626).
