Independents

Another indie (on my quick window shopping excursion). This is an interesting one for me. I’ve lusted after a Horological Machine for several years; the Purists HM3 Frog being the number one desire as many of you may recall me stating many times in other ...  

The details in person were so impressive and it wore far better than I anticipated. It is a cool piece. You getting one?

If I get a HM it will be the Frog as mentioned in the post. That’s the one that has had my focus for several years. Re the Bulldog, I agree. In the metal I liked it a lot more because it did wear much better than I expected.

I love what they do at MB&F. Like you a lovely HM3 is on my list for many years now 🙏🏻

My titanium version is the best watch in my collection and it has started more conversations than all my other pieces combined ...  

For me, the Frog is the desire. And in the near to medium term I am also fully committed on watch purchases. 2025’s budget is spent and next week may see 2026 and 2027 budget allocated!

Here is the Frog, just for you: ...  

I think they are incredibly cool. I got to see one in-person in CDMX of all places a few years ago lol

I’ve never seen one in the wild. And for that matter neither have I ever seen an Urwerk in the wild.

I was in the touristy part of the city and walked into a random dealer for fun. Turned out they carried a fk ton of independents. They had a huge chunk of the Greubel line up there too, which was pretty shocking
