A clock that can entertain while displaying the time is a delight, as in the case of many models offered by the uber-creative artisans at Maximillian Büsser & Friends, better known as MB&F. Designed by the same hands that wrought the whimsical T-Rex and Tripod models, the Orb, co-created by MB&F and L’Epee 1839, is another eminently practical timepiece that immediately enhances the surroundings in which it’s placed. Available in a very limited run of 50 black and 50 white models, the Orb opens like a beetle’s wings to display the inner workings, housed in a transparent case. A ringer can be activated to augment the analog dial by announcing the hours and minutes, a handy feature to help stay on schedule. The Orb is a delight at all hours of the day; MBandF.com.

Inner Canvas
In the quiet elegance of the De La Cruz Family Private Collection in Key Biscayne, the lines between muse and masterpiece dissolve. Draped in silky textures that echo the rich tones of the walls, the model moves — nostalgic, timeless and eternal. Each frame captures her presence among the storied canvases, as if she were painted into a world where art is not just displayed — it is embodied.
