Pattern Recognition B-Theory Series 1
The Pattern Recognition B-Theory Series 1 is a new horological creation from Michael Friedman's new brand, aiming to reinterpret the perception of time through its design and technical execution. It features a unified, curved case and movement inspired by vintage designs like the Movado Polyplan, incorporating a moon phase, tourbillon, and diamond hour markers.
- Grade 5 titanium case
- 30m water resistance
- 60+ hours power reserve (prototype)
The design is described as a unified curved form, following the curve of watches like the Movado Polyplan, with the case and movement integrated.
The watch features a lab-grown "moon-cut" diamond for the moon phase display, with a shroud that rotates around it.
Below the moon phase is a tourbillon, followed by a dial with diamonds for the hour markers.
The titanium case exhibits a contrast of finishes, including satin-polished and sandblasted surfaces, alongside high-polished edges with tight chamfers.
The movement was conceived by Michael Friedman and brought to reality with assistance from Fabrice Deschanel and Claude Emmenegger at Artime, with construction by Vanguart.
The movement runs at 3Hz.
