A rounded, compact body of titanium, red gold or microblasted stainless steel with black PVD coating coupled with a generous ration of sapphire crystal. Two prominent aluminium time-display \u201ceyes\u201d, rolling at anyone who dares look its way. A collar studded with projections that allow you to wind the mainspring or set the time. Stout but flexible \u201clegs\u201d that wrap firmly around your wrist. A massive jaw. And above all, a big heart beating steadily at 2.5Hz (18,000bph).<\/p>\n
Just like the creature for which it is named, there\u2019s more to HM10 Bulldog than meets the eye. Its hinged jaws open and shut according to the amount of wind left in its mainspring \u2014 a fully closed mouth tells you that \u201cBulldog\u201d is wound down and ready for a nap. If you can clearly see the rows of shining teeth lining the jaws, get ready, because that means \u201cBulldog\u201d is full of fight, charged up with 45 hours of mainspring energy.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
This massive power-reserve indication has been carefully designed and calibrated to consume the least energy possible, allowing HM10 Bulldog to direct its considerable mainspring torque solely towards its suspended balance and its revolving hour and minute domes.<\/p>\n
The manual-winding engine of HM10 Bulldog was designed and developed in-house, leveraging the best of MB&F\u2019s technical expertise built up over the years; longtime members of the MB&F Tribe will recognise elements that hew closely to the horological lab\u2019s best-loved creations. The large suspended balance that hovers just beneath the central dome of sapphire crystal was made possible by the various iterations of this mechanism in the Legacy Machine collection.<\/p>\n

The massive jaws that indicate the level of mainspring wind are a much-expanded demonstration of the power-reserve management that was first deployed in the 2014 LM1 Xia Hang. The paper-thin aluminium domes have their roots in the HM3 Frog and were refined in 2014\u2019s HM6. Even the grillework design motif in the \u201cribs\u201d set beneath the balance and in the tail-end of the body echoes the automotive-inspired HM8, HMX and HM5.<\/p>\n
Despite its outsize personality \u2014 measuring 45mm across, 54mm from nose to tail and with a maximum height of 24mm \u2014 HM10 Bulldog is surprisingly wearable. Its sprung strap attachment \u201clegs\u201d allow the body to fit closely around the wrist, with the calf-leather strap as robust as any well-made leash \u2014 fastened with either a folding buckle or Velcro system. Available in both titanium and a combination of titanium and red gold, HM10 Bulldog is assembled with highly distilled expertise in micro-mechanical engineering. Fitting the requisite elements of timekeeping and time display within such a limited three-dimensional volume, while maintaining top levels of artistry and finish, requires careful balance between technical and aesthetic factors.<\/p>\n
