MB&F
This year brings us the new HM2 with sapphire crystal cases. It offers a cool and unobstructed view of the movement. It is constructed from a solid block of sapphire crystal and one can imagine how easy it is to break it when you need to drill the holes for the screws...
The waterproof rubber gasket provide the colors for the watch.
As in the past, they are limited to 18 pieces.
Black and rose gold
PVD'd titanum
The green PVD'd rotor, and the stitching on the strap give the watch a consistent look.
The HM4 Thunderbolt. Manual winding (first manual winding watch by MB&F) w/ 2 mainspring barrels in parallel with 72 hours of power reserve. Winding is down by the crowns on the back (tip of the "engines", one winds the watch and one sets the watch).
The movement for HM4
Another set of novelties are the collaboration with Bucheron to create a special edition of the HM3.
These owl-like high-jewelry creations feature generous usages of diamond and gemstones. The purple version is constructed using amethyst, and the rose version is made with rose quartz. Cases are made in either white or rose gold.
So much details - check out the diamonds set around the "eyes"!
Time reading can get a bit tricky on them, but I guess that's not the main point.
For those of us that are left-handed and needs a watch to be worn on the right hand, a special edition all back edition of HM3 Side Winder, the "Rebel" is created. The case is made with PVD'd 18K white gold.
Another year, another set of pleasant surprises from the gentleman horological provocateur Max Busser.
I am waiting, Max, to see what you have for us at the end of 2011=).
Hope you have enjoyed the post.
Yours Truly,
Jon (Z3)
