In the electronics world , Sony has made a name for itself with theoccasional off - the - bulwark invention . But in the watchmaking world , it ’s a caller called MB&F who ’s responsible for some of the craziest clocks you ’ve ever seen . And itslatest creation will give arachnophobicsthe creeps .
TheMB&FArachnophobia is n’t pretending to be anything other than a horological chef-d’oeuvre that ’s designed to look like a giant spider , complete with a bulging soundbox - like clock fount on top , and a lot of eight long legs it can stand on .
you could leave the Arachnophobia standing on your desk , but to really up the creep - gene MB&F include a special gat allowing the clock to be mounted to a wall so it looks like the spider is skitter down from the ceiling . Every fourth dimension you glance over to agree the time , you ’ll be subconsciously reaching for a rolled - up newspaper .
So how does MB&F justify charging between $ 15,800 to just over $ 18,000 ( depending on the destination and metallic element used ) for a world that kind of front like something you ’ll find onThinkGeek ? What you ’re really paying for is that complex and extremely - engineer Swiss watch movement that powers those curved hands on top . It ’s basically a fancy Swiss lookout man , but with a little more novelty than the horological world is used to .
