MB&F SP One Pavée Watch Set With 1,608 Carats of Diamonds
MB&F has unveiled the SP One Pavée, a high-jewelry version of its Special Project One watch. The 38mm timepiece features a white gold case set with 255 diamonds and a dark blue tilted dial, housing a three-dimensional, hand-wound movement.
MB&F has introduced the SP One Pavée, a diamond-set iteration of its Special Project One watch. The new model is crafted in 18K white gold and incorporates 1.608 carats of diamonds across its case and components.
According to the brand's announcement reported by Hypebeast, the SP One Pavée reinterprets the original pebble-shaped silhouette with a high-jewelry execution. It replaces previous black accents with a dark blue PVD-inclined dial. The watch retains the three-dimensional, kinetic architecture that defines MB&F's design ethos.
A Floating Mechanical Core
The watch's defining feature is its suspended movement. Key mechanical elements appear to float within an interior space described as an amphitheatre. A single mainspring barrel, a balance wheel oscillating at 18,000 vibrations per hour, and a tilted hour-and-minute dial are the three core components. They share identical circumferences and are positioned beneath a bezel-free, double-domed sapphire crystal.
Its high transparency allows maximum light to illuminate the movement. The architectural design conceals most bridges, screws, and gear trains underneath the main plate.
Precise Diamond Setting
The SP One Pavée incorporates 255 brilliant-cut diamonds totaling 1.608 carats. The gem-setting is applied selectively to enhance the watch's curves without overwhelming its form. The diamonds are distributed across specific areas of the watch.
| Component | Number of Diamonds |
|---|---|
| Pebble-shaped case | 165 |
| Rhodium-plated amphitheatre flange | 55 |
| Crown | 14 |
| 18K white gold pin buckle | 21 |
Specifications and Design Details
The watch measures 38mm in diameter, 12mm in height, and 41.9mm from lug to lug. It features detached lugs that rise from the lower case, which is intended to preserve a smooth, tactile feel on the wrist. The timepiece is powered by an in-house, hand-wound movement that provides a 72-hour power reserve.
As part of MB&F's Special Projects collection, the SP One Pavée is produced in a limited edition. The brand describes it as an exploration of classical elegance through its unconventional design lens. Pricing and specific availability details were not provided in the source report, which directs inquiries to MB&F's official website. The watch represents a new chapter for the brand, merging high jewelry with its signature three-dimensional mechanical art.
