raphmeister report... the mb&f experience... and other space oddities
'theres a
starman waiting in the sky...' ziggy stardust
HM3 Sidewinder and StarCruiser
before I share with you some photos I took at the launch of
the mb&f hm3 experience as it toured through singapore
just a couple
of words… I
like MB&F and their horological machines… I also like what I hear about
and from Max Busser and appreciate their philosophy… I like that each person
involved in horological machines are given due credit and have their name
associated with that part of their contribution and it should logically mean
that they do their best work, put to the fore instead of behind a big brand
name.. Max also commented that no shortcuts were taken and that the product is
supposed to draw the level best from each of the involved parties in these
collectives which is very cool and the right way about it in my books... the
preview was a nice and tasteful affair and it was a pleasure meeting Max and
hearing his views. kudos once again to the team at the hour glass that
supported this event and was there and thanks to michael and his team for
having me...
"Ground control to major tom... Commencing
countdown, engines on..."
received the invite for the mb&f preview of the
horological machine 3...
i
headed out fully armed with the vianney halter classic on my left wrist...
and
this on my right...(and no, i don't wear 2 watches all the time
some of
my friends and fellow space cowboys were abouts that day as well
commanders
vernon, dirk
and george
commanders
jeff, harry, jim, kc and chee hoong
and
there was a new face to me amongst the crowd...
perhaps from a distant galaxy? why
its maximillian busser

here with rosemary from the hour glass
who
manages the independents
max
had some fantastic machines for us to view...
timeless
futuristic designs mean that these watches won't ever look aged...
and the
latest machine just assembled off from the space docks
what are my thoughts of the horological machines then? I
like all of them. but as i
had a chance to see all of them in
the metal i found that i
liked the HM2 the most
followed by the HM3 Starcruiser and then HM1...
all in rose
gold for me
wrist shot comparos of the hm2 (above) and hm3 starcruiser
hm 3 sidewinder
my vianney halter classic vs the starcruiser in the size
stakes...
one issue noted by some is on the difficulty in reading the
time...
other space oddities were sighted in this intergalactic zone... a trio of vianney
halter classics...
in the 3 metals its offered... white gold,
yellow gold and red gold
my favorite opus... opus v... the best thing that urwerk has
worked on so
far in my
opinion...
max involved in its creation when he was at harry
winston
my classic and bernard's antiqua... as u know, my grail is
the rose gold antiqua
an interesting space mobile from de bethune was spotted too...
the starfleet commander was about, dr. bernard cheong
and he brought his
horological marvels with him
