Horological Machine No.6 ‘Space Pirate’ was one of only 81 products to obtain the highest-ranking ‘Best of the Best’ award among some 5,000 submissions at the famous Red Dot gala international design competition in Germany. This award coincides perfectly with the introduction of a new limited edition of Space Pirates: HM6 RT. Only 18 pieces in 18k red gold will be produced and these follow the first 50 pieces in titanium last year.
Inside the case and visible through no less than 10 sapphire crystals, lies the radical 475-component HM6 engine. Displaying time via revolving hour and minute spheres, it also features dual turbine regulators which act as shock absorbers for the automatic winding rotor, as well as a 60-second flying tourbillon – protected when necessary by a titanium ‘hyperspace shield’.
