Independents

I finally got to see some of those watches live. I am curious to know which one is your favorite and why?

in RG last year as that was the most conservative (if that term can be associated with MB&F to begin with) of the MB&Fs for me but I am really starting to take a serious liking to the HM3 as well not that I am liking my HM2 any less, in fact more ... 

HM2 comes first HM3 second , and why ? well they just appeal to me in that order for my eye and taste, and i sure don't forget the technical part but i didn't come up with it cause both are on a high technical and innovative level. Faisal

before!! And technically, and some other independant watchmaker share my opinion, its the most succeeded of the HM.

from the case form and finishing and the movement. The 2 just doesn't talk to me, but niether does a plaque of chocolate. An exception is the 2 in saphire, the saphire reducing the wall of the massive slab to an interesting transparent, reflecting surface...

Let us know what you think of it in detail.

fit better. I did not see the sapphire case one, but the variant by AS. That one does have appeal due to the dial colors and contrast.

The Ceramic Titanium version to be more precise. I love it ! Fr.Xavier PS: the HM2-SV was very close to be my top choice......  

Until I saw the "Frog" It was the HM3 "Standard" issue I also LOVE the HM2 - it really speaks to me. I think the FROG is just one of the best designs ever!
