The HM7 Aquapod represents a bold departure from conventional watchmaking: unlike most watches with horizontal movement layouts, this machine features a revolutionary vertical movement orientation, a defining characteristic that shapes its entire design philosophy. At first sight, the HM7 Aquapod strikes as a mysterious toy. Inspired by jellyfish, it captivates with super-luminova along the rotor that glows in darkness, tentacle-like winding rotor, and three-dimensional «floating» hour and minute numerals all made possible by its unique vertical architecture. This vertical orientation isn’t just aesthetic it’s an engineering marvel. The machine comprises over 300 individual parts working in vertical harmony to deliver 72 hours of power reserve. The winding rotor’s three-dimensional curved tentacles are crafted from titanium, presenting a significant manufacturing challenge for both machining and finishing. To ensure optimal winding efficiency in this vertical configuration, much heavier platinum is strategically hidden beneath the lightweight titanium tentacles. Salute to this breathtaking creative horological machine.
