This reference features a Grade 5 titanium case with a lateral orientation, positioning the twin truncated cones perpendicular to the wearer's arm. Collectors value the HM3 for its Girard-Perregaux-based caliber, modified by Jean-Marc Wiederrecht of Agenhor, which utilizes a 22k gold battle-axe winding rotor visible on the dial side. The movement employs large ceramic ball bearings to reduce friction and support the three-dimensional hour and day/night indication cones. On the secondary market, this reference typically trades in the $55,000 to $75,000 range. A notable production detail is that the Sidewinder was released alongside the \"Starcruiser\" variant, which shared the same internal architecture but oriented the cones vertically toward the wearer for a different ergonomic profile."}, "listing_stats": {"count": 0, "median": 0, "low": 0, "high": 0}, "listings": [], "auction_lots": [{"slug": "mb-f-32t0044-2022", "brand": "MB&F", "reference": "32T0044", "model": "Horological Machine No. 3 'Frog'", "case_material": "Titanium", "hammer_usd": 52254, "year_sold": 2022, "venue": "Christie's Hong Kong", "lot_summary": "A titanium HM3 'Frog' featuring two rotating aluminum domes for hours and minutes, reminiscent of a frog's eyes.", "source_url": "https://www.christies.com/en/lot/lot-6374574", "provenance": "ai_generated_grounded", "url": "https://mostexpensivewatches.net/auctions/mb-f-32t0044-2022"}]}
