MB&F HM6 Space Pirate

About this reference

The MB&F HM6 Space Pirate in titanium was released in 2014 as the initial edition of the Horological Machine No. 6 series. Production of the HM6 line concluded in 2019 with the Final Edition, limiting the total output across all metal variants to 100 pieces, with only 50 units produced in the original Grade 5 titanium. Collectors value this reference for its complex case construction, which comprises 80 components and features ten sapphire crystals. The caliber, developed with David Candaux, utilizes a flying tourbillon with a retractable titanium shield and dual aluminum turbines that regulate the automatic winding system. On the secondary market, this reference typically trades in the low-to-mid six-figure range, often between $220,000 and $300,000 depending on condition. A notable production detail is that the movement requires over 350 components to drive the four spherical indicators for hours and minutes.
