This beautiful ticker is based on a jellyfish, looks sublimely sci-fi

Is it just us, or do watches not look enough like jellyfish nowadays? Oh, it is just us. Well, anyway, the good news is that serial maker of surreal watches MB&F is back at it – and the HM7 Aquapod might just be its maddest, prettiest ticker to date. Inspired by nature’s favourite glow-in-the-dark stinger, it’s capped by a sapphire glass dome – ringed by a floating ceramic bezel – that shows off the concentrically mounted mechanics to stunning effect. Its automatic winder totes tentacles hewn from titanium, while water resistance to 50m means it’s a real water baby, too. The price? Oh, about £80,000.
