Thanks a lot Jérôme for your feelings about this Machine.
My only concern about this watch is the classic time display: yes, it is the first HM with, I would say, "normal" minutes and hours hands ! Of course, it is coherent with the inspiration of the Machine but I would have prefered something more original on this topic. The watch would have become totally crazy ! The point I really appreciate is that the HM4 is the first machine with a handwind movement.

Max Busser and friends #4! The plane that is also a watch!
The watch show Belles Montres in Paris in November was a first opportunity for me to see the HM4 by Max Busser and his friends. I had seen the base calibre in Basel in March, but the full watch was still yet to meet. I've really appreciated the HM2 and wo...
Great photography...
I love the way you photograph the watch, gives it a romantic feel. I bet you are a romantic soul For the watch, it looks for like an old plane to me. For some reason, I think of the movie Memphis Belle, which I love. As for dreams, no..this watch doesn't ...
great photos of piece of art on the wrist...
saw the Thunderbolt at the Winter GTG and was simply amazed at the piece... and your great photos and words managed to capture the magic in the piece...thank you!
Could it be that you like the watch Jerome ?

For mr...I see gradual move for MBF
I know many have written about MBFs , and every machine and it's variants have been covered to death. But being a owner of 1,2 and 3. I can safely expressed the ownership experience and how many feelings towards them evolved over time. I will do that in a...
My friend.. you rightfully associate 2 brands (albeit one is a model)
that greatly instigate my current skepticism and fuels my ongoing horfatigue... and for commercial exploits (well not the same word but intent perhaps the same?)... indeed, the recent wave of variants with the chocolate being the latest, seems to suport t...
Sure mate...we discussed this several times, and the conclusions fluctuates though
Granted profit motive, as every economic entity should be, the price points in many ways reflects that stance...small volume high prices. However I draw a line, or imagine I do, between AP ROOs and Hublots unlimited limited editions and that of MBFs. firs...
Production figures
Hi Arthur, Forgive me if I am misreading your comment, but I want this to be clear. The stated purpose of MB&F is to CREATE. That is what we enjoy. Any marketing or other activities are only there so that we can continue to create freely long into the fut...
Chocolate is going to be the hottest colour since

Thank you for your comments
Hi Horo, Thank you for your handful comments! We don't have so many opportunities to read from the owner of three HM models. Is this your HM2? I love this version. Cheers Dje...

Yes, it is my 2.2...I have some sort of a family shot....and I actually intend to write about all three of them, and my feelings towards them after owning each between 1-2 years plus, sort of then and now, and if the freshness of the concept of the machin...
So happy you like the Thunderbolt!
I have to say, this piece makes me very proud to be a part of the MB&F adventure. The risks Max took in creating this piece and seeing the project through to such an amazing degree of quality are inspiring. Truly a piece of art. Best, Steve

Understood but...
Hi, Thank you Francois Xavier, I understand your point but as I'm really shortsighted, I really appreciate easily readable watches. Maybe that's why.... Cheers Dje
