When two high end watchmakers like MB&F and Urwerk team up you can surely bet the end product is going to be nothing less than amazing. C3H5N3o9 or known as the chemical makeup of nitroglycerin this experimental watch will be made intwo versions called the Experiment ZR012 and RG012 having zirconium or 18k red gold case respectively. Having a movement based on principle employed in a Wankel rotary engine, a kind of eccentric movement by the triangular engine rotor, the watch is unique its own right.
Taking these two rotor style discs on top of each other the time indication shown in minutes and hours along linear paths is amazing in itself. A manual wound gear gives 39 hour power reserve which is indicated on the rear display of the watch.
