Deep Space On Your Desk: MB&F Starfleet Machine

Starfleet Machine by MB&F is a very functional piece of fantasy for your desk.

Your desk? Well, yes, silly. You see, following Musicmachine, this is the second non-watch machine for MB&F, though this one actually does tell you the time.

Beside being a fantasy machine, it is also a table clock built with the wonderful skills of historic Swiss clockmaker, L’Epée 1839.

With Starfleet Machine MB&F shows us yet again why the brand is inspired by science fiction and the race to the stars, because it is simply fantastible!

The shape of the Starfleet Machine alone is enough to inspire wonder in those who view it, but when you peer into the depths of the exposed works and start to notice the details; a whole new appreciation begins to form. So let’s take a look at it.

Anchors Ahoy! The Arnold & Son Dial Side True Beat (DSTB)

Arnold & Son, the relatively young brand founded only in 1995 has its roots firmly planted in the tradition of John Arnold and the chronometers he and his son created 250 years ago. The brand’s wristwatches excite and inspire me because they are a mix of classic styling and modern design, with a dash of ingenious mechanism detailing to satiate even the hungriest of watch nerds.

The Nine Muses And The De Bethune DB28 Digitale

The DB28 Digitale is a masterpiece that debuted earlier this year. While straightforward in its appearance, it is truly a work of horological expertise and pure beauty. But more so, it is clearly the result of a healthy dose of inspiration from Urania. The focus on this piece is actually the large expanse that is cleanly decorated but remains without superfluous ornamentation.
