An alien TriPod from MB&F + L’EPEE 1839 lands
TriPod comprises a minimalist clock face suspended between three delicate insect-like legs. It follows the mighty T-Rex in what will become a trilogy of half animal/half robot creations that MB&F calls Robocreatures. TriPod features three delicate legs supporting a colourful body, three insect-eye spheres made of precision lens-quality glass, and a clock dial making one full revolution in 36 hours that indicates three sets of hours and minutes. Underneath the dial is a 182-component three-dimensional sculptural movement crafted on three levels by L’Épée 1839 with a vertical balance slowly beating at a traditional 2.5Hz. Time-setting and winding are by key, and when fully wound the movement offers a generous eight-day power reserve. TriPod launches in three limited editions of 50 pieces each in neon blue, neon green, and neon red.
