howdy folks,

I am very happy to share with you the delivery of my HM5. unlike its siblings, this time round I did not have to wait months on end....I was pleasantly surprised to receive "the call" that my watch has arrived.

I will write a proper report after wearing it for several weeks. What a great way to end a really fantastic horological year

best,

Horo

As you know, the HM5 didn't seduce me like the previous Machines did. It is the reason why I expect your review. Enjoy your watch! Fx

I like it more every time I see it. Particularly that Lambo-esque view from the rear. You really are a child of the 70's. Enjoy it my friend. Andrew

... all refreshingly unique but clearly of the same family. Max and his collaborators are to be congratulated on that. Great collection, Kevin. And also impressive that the first deliveries of the HM5 are occurring so soon after the launch. Bravo. Andrew
