Notes

Unleash the commander of your desk with the MB&F x L’Epée Grant Blue Clock, a rare and limited-edition mechanical marvel that commands attention. This extraordinary collaboration between visionary watchmaking label MB&F and Switzerland’s premier clockmaker L’Epée has resulted in more than a timepiece; it is an interactive sculpture. Inspired by the formidable M3 Grant Tank, this robot-like clock combines playful design with serious Swiss engineering, crafted from stainless steel and treated brass with its highly polished clockwork on full display as a mesmerizing spectacle. Grant is fully articulated, transforming into three positions—lying horizontally, crouching at a 45-degree angle, or sitting fully upright—and is fitted with functional caterpillar tracks to roll across anywhere. Powered by a L’Epée in-house designed and manufactured manual winding 8-day movement and limited to just 50 pieces in this striking blue, this complete set offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of contemporary horological art that blends exquisite craftsmanship with the pure joy of imagination.
