MB WATCHES - SEVEN DEADLY SINS - LUXURE - LUST

Lust - pretty much says it all doesn't it? This is Mikael's interpretation of this condition. Lust is a very powerful word. Lust For Life conjures up images of Vincent Van Gogh, Kirk Douglas portraying Vincent Van Gogh, and Iggy Pop sing about .... well it might not have been Vincent Van Gogh, but you get the idea.

We have all, at one time or another, experienced lust - many reading this blog experience lust on a daily basis staring longingly at what is wrapped around a stranger's wrist.

And Mikael's vision of lust is no exception - Pink Gold, 2 movements offering dual time zones, and a dial comprised of black enamel, white mother of pearl and pink gold.

Thank you Mikael for sharing your visions this past week.

MB WATCHES - SEVEN DEADLY SINS - Paresse - Sloth

Sloth - a medium sized slow-moving resident of the Central and South American rainforest.  Perhaps that curious animal was not what Mikael had in mind.  In terms of his Seven Deadly Sins collection I suspect that he was referring to what was thought to be a spiritual or emotional apathy.

MB Watches's Paresse or Sloth is crafted from white gold with sapphire crystals front and back to admire the hand-crafted goodness.  One hand indicates the minute, while the hours are indicated in the upper window.  The dial is crafted from white gold and decorated with two types of diamonds.  42 hours of power reserve, self-winding with "sliding hours".

MB WATCHES - SEVEN DEADLY SINS - WRATH!

WRATH - pretty much the only one of the Seven Deadly Sins to not be truly attributable to selfishness. Today's addition to Mikael's release of the Seven Deadly Sins is a fantastic self-winding chronograph crafted from black titanium and yellow gold! The perfect reminder on your wrist to keep your cool and keep your anger in check! How could you be angry with something as cool as this?

MB WATCHES - Seven Deadly Sins - Vanity - PRIDE

Vanity or Pride is one of those "sticky" sins. On the one hand, you should want to be proud of yourself. On the other, lets face the facts, Pride is considered by many to be the BIGGY - the original of the seven deadly sins and from which the others arose.

In terms of what Mikael has offered in this series, this in many ways could be considered the BIGGY as well - Yellow Gold combined with black titanium, sapphire crystals front and back housing a hand-wound tourbillon! And PRIDE will grab ahold of you and not let go courtesy of a hand-sewn black alligator strap. It's okay to be a little proud!

MB WATCHES - Seven Deadly Sins - Gourmandise!

Or as we say here in the US - Gluttony. Some loose definitions include greedy or excessive excess. This magnificently singular creation is fashioned from red gold, and houses a hand-wound perpetual calendar. Once again, I am truly impressed by Mikael's ability to capture something as esoteric as a "Sin" and assemble that vision into a one of a kind timepiece. Having taught English in Europe and Asia I know how difficult it is to simply try to explain a linguistic idea, but to take that several steps further and weave its emotional content into the physical embodiment a watch is remarkable. Mikael is communicating on three different levels - language, art and craft. Bravo Mikael, the Seven Deadly Sins collection has been fantastic so far! And we still have four more sins to go!

MB WATCHES - Seven Deadly Sins - ENVIE!

Yes, for my fellow English teachers out there, I'm well aware I'm going with an "alternative" spelling!

This is MB Watches ENVIE. Self-winding, 45 hours of power reserve. This is a truly unique piece - stainless steel combined with a "black" stainless steel. The bracelet is truly unique - stainless steel links combined with leather links! Two sins accounted for - five more sins to go!


Envy is a tough thing to avoid experiencing when thinking about watches - I think Mikael has hit the nail on the head! It's not easy being green.
