Pattern Recognition B-Theory Watch
Michael Friedman has worked at Christie's and Audemars Piguet, among other horological outposts. He's now striking out on his own with the Pattern Recognition brand, and their first timepiece, the B-Theory, is just as impressive as expected. It has a 32mm wide and 52mm long curved titanium case housing a three-plane movement, with a moonphase at the top that has a 6 mm custom lab-grown diamond and a cover that opens and closes as appropriate. At the center is a flying tourbillon that's hand-wound and hand-finished, while at the bottom is a simple hours and minutes readout with white-gold hands and diamond indexes. It's finished with a quick-release strap system so wearers can choose between a hand-crafted bracelet and an assortment of different straps to match the moment.
