A LIMITED EDITION 10 PIECES MB&F HM3 "BLACK FROG ZR"

MB&F presented the HM3 Frog Zr (limited to 10 pieces) ,  featuring a high-tech zirconium case. The newest HM3 Poison Dart Frog also features a zirconium case that is covered with a layer of black PVD. The new HM3 Poison Dart Frog features a 22 carat yellow gold ‘battle-axe’ rotor, to power the Girard-Perregaux base movement, which is redesigned and equipped with complication-modules by Jean-Marc Wiederrecht. The HM3 Poison Dart Frog (or Black Frog Zr as is engraved in the case back).

The sapphire crystal domes contain the domed hour and minute indicators, which are machined from solid aluminium, measuring just 0.28 mm in thickness and weighing just over 0.5 grams! These kind of technical achievements make this incredible design possible.

The name, poison dart frog, comes from a small poisonous frog that lives in South America. This small amphian is black with bright yellow dots/spots. And the screws on the HM3 Poison Dart Frog are made in 18 carat yellow gold, to resemble the yellow spots of the frog. The photos unfortunately don’t show the yellow gold too good, so better check them out at the Hour Glass. The HM3 Poison Dart Frog is a limited edition of 10 pieces, exclusively available at The Hour Glass. With Cert dated SEPT 2012.  Retail price $129400.
