Any machine that has experienced four years of intergalactic exploration \u2013 transitioning from cosmic pirate ship to futuristic alien vessel \u2013 is bound to bear the marks of adventure; the body of HM6 Final Edition is deeply grooved with polished lines that stretch from the turbine pods to the hour and minute spheres, contrasting sharply with the satin-drawn main surfaces.<\/strong><\/p>\n The temperature of a star determines its colour, with the hottest stars appearing bright blue due to their higher radiation frequency. Appropriately, this shade features prominently in HM6 Final Edition. The platinum oscillating weight, visible through a sapphire crystal pane on the underside of the case, has been given a blue PVD coating<\/strong>. The hour and minute spheres are also in this arresting hue, with numerals and markings standing out in thickly applied Super-LumiNova that luminesces light blue.<\/p>\n The hour and minute spheres are oriented perpendicular to the rest of the engine to facilitate readability,<\/strong> and are driven by conical gears to ensure that this unusual configuration still provides the necessary precision in displaying the time. At the opposite end of the HM6 engine, twin turbines create air resistance that protects the automatic winding system<\/strong>. The engine of Horological Machine N\u00b06, comprising 475 components, took three years of research and development to realise \u2013 almost as long as the entire lifespan of the HM6 series itself.<\/p>\n Central to the design and construction of HM6 is the flying tourbillon, protected by a retractable shield<\/strong> and evocative of the sharply controlled chaos at the heart of our universe. Now that things are coming to a close for HM6, the sapphire crystal dome above the flying tourbillon takes a page from the show-all playbook of HM6 Alien Nation and expands its dimensions in order to more fully expose the beating regulator in its revolving cage.<\/p>\n Horological Machine N\u00b06 Final Edition completes the cosmic circle begun by HM6 Space Pirate, a supernova finish to a series that belongs in the stars.
