eh, no legacy lah...
Just an old dude who likes MBFs. Welcome to the MBF brotherhood. Sam is a great guy who overestimartes my horological capabilities and underestimates my horological idiocy. I noticed u went thru the same PAM-APROO-MBF route!!
Would be interesting to reflect on your horological journey to MBF. Any propensity for classical gentlemen's watches and brands? Langes and Pateks? VCs and Breguets?
Best,
Horo
Amazing beautiful!!
Congratulations, The Thunderbolt is awesome. I saw it once at the M.A.D Gallery and i was totally amazed, i love it!! MB&F did a great job with the HM4, i wish they'll keep surprising us in the future. Wear it in the best of health. Best Fabio
Thanks Fabio...
I hope that i will have the chance to visit MAD gallery one day in the future.... HM4 has a very strong wrist presence and characters... it's truly an ultimate Hm for me... Best, Alex
Congrats on your MBF.
This is such a psychedelic creation from Max! Not for every wrist, thought but this is also the interest of this kind of strong watch. Enjoy yours, and congratulations! Nicolas.
Yes, i completely agree with you....
and given the mind blowing retail price, i don't think it's meant for just anybody in the first place.... that's why i said that i am so blessed.... Cheers, Alex
true beauty Bro!!!
awesome ENGINE I would say. Really a jaw dropping pcs. Enjoy my Friend. Thanks for sharing with me
Thank you for all the love and support, bro
Thanks for coming yesterday! I truly enjoyed your companionship.... Alex
CONGRATULATIONS!!
Its a great piece and stands above other watches in wearing art on your wrist! Enjoy! Andrew
Thank you, Andrew...
I am having a problem hiding it under my long sleeve though... But, yes... it's bring the horology art to a completely different level.... Best, Alex
AMAZING Timepiece!
Huge congrats again for such an amazing & absolutely like nothing else masterpiece for the wrist bro! :D
and again i say thank you so much for bringing this fantastic machine home safely...
It wouldn't be the same without your help, and for that i am so grateful.... cheers, alex
again congratulations!
a true mind-blowing machine on the wrist. Looking forward to see it on metal one day. Have a blast and again huge congratulations!! cheers, GG
Thanks GG, though i know it's not really your cup of tea...
but we share the same passion about the art of horology itself... and that is what matters most for us, ain't it? Cheers, alex
Huge congratz
This is absolutely not an ordinary watch and choosing this one comes more from many personnal feelings than from general knowledge and opinions. I'm happy for you and wish you to wear it as it deserves Alex. Cheers, Mark
Thanks Mark... it's been always personal for me....
i had bought some pieces in the past just to please the crowds... but, what's the point of making others happy when you feel empty inside? A hype is just a hype, it will dies down eventually along with the ever changing trends, but a true appreciation of ...
Yes Pat, i go to singapore quite often...
do you have a community for independent fans over there?
there are several but guess the strongest would be the rolex and paneristi group.
Independents are hardly around. May we can meet up when you're here. cheers PAt
Sure thing, Pat...
I am still a paneristi, in fact many of us started from there, as a panerai enthusiasts... but along the way, some of us took many different routes as our collection grew... and as for me, i ended up here... i will gladly meet with you guys... will give y...
Amazing presence...
on the wrist and off it. The last shot looks like an alien space craft has just landed! Good for you & thanks for sharing the madness. :) Fernando
Thank you sir... talking about an alien ship....
have you seen the little brother? it's a UFO... cheers, alex ...
Nice piece bro
Nice piece bro... Congrats. Would love to be invited to your guys next gathering. Cheers ADi
Sure thing bro... don't miss the next gtg..
we plan to do a gtg in my house next time, there will be house opening in next November... it will be amazing!
Howdy Steve!
After almost a full month of waiting, it's finally here! It's a shame that we couldn't meet face to face for such a magnitude of transaction.... but, Horace did a very good job, didn't he? Thank you so much for the easy and no hassle transaction... All th...
Hooray Alex!...
Sincere congratulations on bagging a major Indie for Indo. Your smile muscles must be extremely sore. ;-) Cheers, pplater.
Congraduations on this wonderful occurrance!
You are indeed very lucky, both for your new watch, but much more than this, for the many friends you have to share your joy with. That is your true richness!! I hope you enjoy your new masterpiece for many years with all of these friends! Thanks for shar...
these friends are equally nutty about ...
that's what makes this insanity to be seemed sane enough for me... cheers, Alex
Huge congrats to you on your acquisition.
You are now destined to collect the whole series!!! :)- I am a big MBF fan, and am collecting back my HM1 this week from servicing. If you are in town, there are a bunch of us in Singapore who are equally crazy about MBFs. Best, Horo
You are a legacy, sir....
I heard from Sam that you collect all the machines... *salute* Unfortunately, I don't find both HM1 and HM2 that attractive on my wrist... I'd tried them both before... and given my long list of watches that i still want to own and the budget constraint, ...

My horological journey....
It was more like... Pam > Ap Roo > Rm > Independent watches .... I am still a paneristi, i collected many SE pam such as 127,249,322,277,225... and i love modern watches more than vintage ones... when some of my friends decided to go historic to ...
I have been financially broke since 1997....
Ah...the myth of money growing trees persists....in both my prayers and dreams. I am 40years old, and I can say I am only a quarter way thru my horological journey. Have been in hibernation mode for a few months, needing to replendish my disminished finan...
UN Freak and rm11...
It was the original unmodified freak 1.0, and my first tourbillon watch... i sold it for a good money and was thinking of topping up for a blue phantom or a diavolo, but along the way, i got distracted by this particular rm11, the material choice, color c...
Makes a heart glad.
You have just purchased one of my favorite watches. It is original, creative, beautiful, and fun. I feel too many haute horlogie types get a little too serious and lose sight that this is all supposed to be about having a good time. Of course, I realize h...
a passion is meant to be shared...
Thanks matey, Jon, i believe that without these people, there horology geeks, i would not even dare to spend 10% of the value of the watch itself.... without the community, without the artisans, without the "professionals", a watch would be just an ordina...
Thank you! i think so too.... =)
Just like mr. Bernard wrote in his article, hm4 brings horology to different dimension.... a breakthrough... <-- i was bought by his idea actually....
Huge congrats on your acquisition!
What an extraordinary piece, wear it in the best of health Lexy. we need more photos of the watch and the party man :) best regards, ryan
Thank you Ryan!
I will post more and more pictures of hm4 in the near future... since it's already near ramadhan here, and consequently the crime rate goes up, i had put all my watches in SDB in bank... so the group shot might have to wait for a while... Best, Alex
Congrats on the awesome HM4
Max's watches are out of this world! Congrats on owning one of his most beautiful creations IMO! Nice gathering there too!
Thank you sir!
It's indeed the most amazing watch i have ever had in my entire collection and it's my current holy grail. Cheers, Alex
Congratulations...
Hi Alex, What a way to welcome your watch! Always fun to have friends who admire and appreciate the same hobby. Thanks for sharing the joy with us and that Thunderbolt looks awesome on your wrist, not a machine everybody can carry to say the least. Cheers...
Thanks jacky....
Friends and community play a great role in this horology world, and i am blessed that i have bunches of them. Cheers, Alex
Always nice to see warm and familiar faces...
especially when welcoming such grail... My sincerest congratulations to you for finally getting your grail... You have a nice depth in your collection and getting deeper to the world of independent watchmakers.. Look forward to see your future addition......
Yes, certainly.. it does =)
How bout you sammy? we weren't so different back then... i believe there is a part of you still longing for independent piece... you should talk to Horo more often, and let him influence and enlighten your path by just a little... =D Congrats on your late...
Well.... You know,
I always have deep fascination on some independent pieces... And I always will... But I know , my next path will again be far from the world of independent watches... Thanks Lex!! Sam
