HM12 THE GUARDIAN
A total horological concept to open the third decade
Revisiting the sci-fi vibe of MB&F’s earlier Horological Machines, HM12 The Guardian is a mechanical duo combining the highly complex HM12 wristwatch – featuring a novel “face shield” complication, a flying tourbillon, a double-sided micro-rotor, jumping hours and traditional fine finishing – with ‘The Guardian’, a towering 38cm-tall robot equipped with a mechanical thermometer and integrated tools. Each combined unit comprises nearly 1,500 components.Only three limited editions of 12 pieces will ever be crafted.
The Guardian, a companion, not a stand
HM12 is delivered with The Guardian, the rest of the robot’s body – the two are one. The watch detaches from its strap via a quick-release system and mounts directly onto the head via a clipping system designed to secure it firmly while allowing repeated handling. The strap is stored in a hidden drawer integrated into the robot’s base. This is not a base or a stand. It is a body built around the watch.

A LEGACY OF COLLABORATION
For over two decades, MB&F and Ahmed Seddiqi have shared a bond built on creativity, courage, and craft. The Perpetual EVO and Perpetual Baguette Diamonds 75th Anniversary Editions honour this friendship with two extraordinary timepieces that marry mechanical mastery with striking design, a fitting tribute to 75 years of horological excellence.
