This is a shock and awe piece
and definitely not for those who want something understated. Back to the shock and awe.. my 2 boys saw this and went :Whoa! Cool! MB&F makes the coolest watches... my BOYS....hmmm... the shock and awe... great initial impact for many I am sure... but with many things that have this kind of effect... will it have the same impact in a month's time, a year's time.... only time will tell... I've always been a fan of MB&F but have little time in this so I ain;t qualified to comment too much... I need to see this watch in the metal and again after some time and again.... probably won;t have any left should I decide I like it 
and if its affordable but its a big leap from what I am used to (and quite a few others I suspect)... Its very different but in a good manner over time?....I did say I'd never own a MB&F.... and credit to Max and friends for not just attempting a cheap play on case design and materials but putting a lot of attention on the movement as well....the shock and awe...
Presenting the MB&F Horological Machine No. 4 Thunderbolt!
This is Max's most radical work yet; when I first saw it I was blown away. Presenting the MB&F Horological Machine No. 4 Thunderbolt! click here for the HM4 video. Press release follows. - SJX Horological Machine N o 4 Thunderbolt A traditional wristwatch...
Thanks for sharing JX...
this will be hard to beat. The shock value is immense but a finer appreciation for the numerous details causes one to really pause and think. And celebrate that we are in the midst of one of the most imaginative ARTISTS of our time doing his thing. Thanks...
After the various teasers...
I was ready to be skeptical, but it looks like Max has a winner again. I want to see it in the metal. Don
Thanks for the great post!
This watch is hands down the most unique piece I've seen in a good while.
It certainly looks usable for telling time. No so certain...
about the comfort in wearing it. Bernard, what do you think?
Wow!
It really does look cool! Its like two jet engines!!!!!! I like the design of the dial, looks fantastic!.
surprisingly Max's most over the top watch is also the one where time telling
is the easiest! Having seen the watch in the metal I can say that it is beyond unbelieveable, it is not only gorgeous but the movement finish is astounding.

Crown question
If one crown is only used for setting the time, does it still pull out or is the "neutral" position time setting? I'd worry that the time would get accidentally changed by bumping the, really quite exposed, crown thanks for the report a
I see
Or at least I think I do. That means that it doesn't do anything in the "normal" position, correct? A
This watch may be exclusive in price, but inclusive and even humble in its spirit
I am sure that deep inside the design team's hearts, they were making a watch that will not only be desired among the fortunate, but will inspire and bring many people, especially those who have a spirit of youth and dreams to start looking at the serious...
Dare I say it - love it! Reminds me a little of the
Parmigiani Bugatti 370, but definitely a break. Love the styling and reminds me of the features on the tail fin of the 1959 Cadillac convertible. The name fits the ethos of the design - bravo. Best work Max - seriously impressed. Andrew H...
Very interesting...
Reminds me of the "jet pack" in the movie "The Rocketeer." Looking forward to seeing it in person!
Bravo! Love it.
Would love to see how it looks on my wrist. Love the look. Simply amazing. I know I wouldn't wear it very often but these special days would be a BIG smile on my face. BRAVO!!! Vte
out of this World.!!
a One of a Kind and absolutely Unique. there's nothing like it. i can not imaging the INTENSE Work involved to make such an UNTIMATE Pilot Watch.!! also love the Strong Emotions behind it.!! thank you for sharing. Tony
One damn cool piece of art!!!
Thanks for sharing SJX! I have to say I'm normally not really attracted to "out there" watches. But this generation of Independents are bringing these statement pieces to a whole new level! Look at De Bethune and Max! My God, I have to say I'm really impr...
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this piece
but I don't think I could afford it. I need to win the lotto. Max is the best, I need to work harder
just saw it!
i just saw the hm4 and had a chance to speak to max busser... can i just say... wow. the design is like nothing else you've ever seen in a mechanical watch, and the movement in action is so incredibly beautiful. i probably should keep the superlatives to ...
wow pushing the envelope in watch design
i wonder how comfortable it is on wrist during wear?
wow! a MBF piece with minute hand and hour hand on the same dial!!!
lol...just kidding, love Max's work... adrian
Brilliant, full marks for design creativity
Max and his team have again wowed us all with another stunning "Horological Machine" Micro-mechanical wrist art at it's best! Look forward to seeing one in person sometime, Cheers, Tim
HOLY COW!
my first words out of my mouth when I clicked on the link.. THANKS for the post SJX.. wow..what a piece of contemporary art this machine is...wow...certainly will have differing opinions but unique and special it will be I for one, love it..just awesome.....
I think this watch has a slight resemblance to a car I like
maybe Max is the guy bidding against me for it on that big auction website Don't get me wrong, I like the watch (and this car) Cazalea...
MB&F is pushing the envelope once again! Tremendous!
Each machine is so different from its brothers.
it goes against every horological engineering principle that I hold dear
And I kinda dig it. Can't wait to see it in person! Thanks SJX and congrats Max and Friends!
