MB&F Melchior Robot Clock, Crazy

The MB&F Melchior is the second product of MB&F and L’Epée working together. Last year in 2014, the two companies presented the MB&F Starfleet Machine Clock (hands-on here) which was equally impressive. Why do I think the MB&F Melchior will be more successful, though? Well, both of these items are clocks, and both are directly inspired by the world's of science fiction. While the Starfleet Machine Clock is supposed to be the tabletop rendition of a space station (Deep Space 9 from Star Trek), the MB&F Melchior emulates the robot companion, a futuristic battle buddy and compatriot that is so deeply engrained in the imaginations of so many people today.   

The MB&F Melchior was designed by MB&F and designer Xin Wang, and is produced entirely by L’Epée in Switzerland. There will be two slightly different versions of the MB&F Melchior for 2015, and in total, they will be limited to 99 pieces. Where the "Melchior" name came from is another interesting piece of trivia. According to MB&F founder Max Busser, men of the Busser family traditionally had one of two names. Apparently Max's grandfather did away with that tradition, but according to Busser men of his family were named either Melchior or Balthazar starting back in the 15th century. Given the fact that all anthropomorphic robotic creations deserve a human name, Melchior just seemed fitting.
