A teaser was out a month ago... and now, it's the time for the real deal! I really want to thank you Max Busser for ever creating such a mind-blowing Horological Machine, Steve (SteveH) for giving me the best opportunity to make my dreams come true, and Horace (H2FInally) for getting this "ought to be troublesome" transaction done ever smoothly.
I won't be writing about the technical stuffs since some other watch connoisseurs had done before in this forum, and believe me... their opinions are much more reliable than mine=)
A small welcoming party for my Holy Grail
MB&F Horological Machine no.4
A Thunderbolt just landed in Indonesia... and all the ristis rejoiced together in harmony...
I woke up this morning with a thanksgiving, knowing that i am blessed man who had both the privilege and the "luck" to acquire such a magnificent machine. Many ordinary people would say that I am an irrational man for spending adequate amount of my fortunes on watches, but indeed, i am grateful knowing that i have this small circle of crazy friends that shares the same interest and passion about horology as much as i do. A small and simple welcoming party was held yesterday to celebrate the incoming of the first Thunderbolt in our community.
I'm not so good with words, so just enjoy the rest of the photos taken from my Iphone and M9p.
These 2 Rb2'es were among the first ones to greet and meet the newest member of the horology family.
Shortly after that, another gentleman with RB2 RG joined the party... what a sight...
A double wrist shot ... Ap Rb2 RG has been in my wishlist for quite a time for now... i hope i would have one for myself in the near future...
Of course, i was tempted to try to put it on my own wrist... and voilaaa.... it looks like the piece is destined to be made for me...
It's so happy to see many happy faces that night....
Some avid indoristi Panerai collectors were present as well....
Hm4 was truly the shinning star of that night, and everybody wanted a piece of it....
We talked for hours about watches, cars, business, laws, politics.. about life... and i suddenly realized that without these people, i wouldn't be the man i am today... a total watch geek!
I won't be writing about the technical stuffs since some other watch connoisseurs had done before in this forum, and believe me... their opinions are much more reliable than mine=)
I just want to share this wonderful madness with the rest of the world. Thank you for reading.
Best Regards,
Alex

MB&F did a great job with the HM4, i wish they'll keep surprising us in the future.

HM4 has a very strong wrist presence and characters... it's truly an ultimate Hm for me...

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....

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?

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 a particular watch is always long-lasting...

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...
Best,
Alex
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.
