MB&F HM4 Thunderbolt Movement Preview

Key Points from the Discussion

• The author confirms that every part of the HM4 movement, including the regulating system, was developed and created specifically for this machine, underscoring its bespoke and innovative nature.
• A contributor praises MB&F's consistent innovation, stating that Max Büsser's creativity is 'light years ahead of our time' and that MB&F watches are never overpriced given their unique value.
• Another contributor, having spoken with two sources who saw the prototype, confirms the watch's 'unique' nature, suggesting it will be a significant release, even if not explicitly 'groundbreaking'.
• A contributor speculates on the movement's layout, identifying two barrels, no tourbillon, and time indications at the ends of the 'wings,' and questions the function of channels on the 'wings' and the purpose of multiple crowns.
• A contributor, having seen the HM4, boldly declares it the 'coolest watch to ever have been made in the history of watches' due to its design, layout, and forward-thinking approach, predicting it will overshadow previous HM models.
• A contributor analyzes the visible wheel, suggesting it's too thick for a single function and likely involves a step-down wheel for hour and minute indications.
