MB&F x L'Epee 1839 Balthazar Robot Clock
Some people look at robots as the arrival of the future promised in shows like The Jetsons. Others see them as threats. Balthazar, the robot clock from MB&F x L'Epée 1839, plays with these alternate views. On one side is a friendly robot, with jumping hours and trailing minutes discs on his chest and a power indicator in his belly. Spin him around 180º and you'll meet a Terminator- like menace paired with a dual hemisphere moon phase indicator. On top is the "brain", or the regulator for the custom in-house movement, and his arms articulate at the shoulders and elbows while his hands can clasp objects. One of those is his shield, which doubles as a time-setting key and clock winder for the 35-day power reserve. Limited to 50 pieces per color in black, silver, blue, or green.
