Two globular “eyes” that rotate to give the hours and minutes. A widely grinning “mouth” revealing the occasional bright flicker of the signature MB&F battle-axe rotor. A glistening “skin” of titanium, red gold or exotic zirconium... HM3 Frog may have been small as a specimen of amphibious pond life, but it was mighty on the wrist as it leapt to iconic status at the crossroads of kinetic art and horology.
