MB&F, short for Maximilian Büsser and Friends, keeps diving deeper and deeper into avant-garde designs. The HM8 Mark 2 isn't just a watch; it's a conversation starter, a statement maker, and a wrist-worthy wonder! The unconventional aesthetics, inspired by various fields ranging from supercars to science fiction, invite the wearer to partake in a journey that transcends traditional horology.
From its "double bubble" sapphire crystal (a term we're borrowing for our next spa day) to its chassis construction, this beauty has it all. And let's not forget the CarbonMacrolon - a material eight times lighter than steel! Imagine all the extra hors d'oeuvres you can carry at the next cocktail party!
Under the hood, the HM8 Mark 2 is more complicated than my last relationship, as would any watch with such an extravagant time-telling. Who needs traditional hands when you can use some imagination, right? The double-curved sapphire? It’s so hard to make that only one supplier dared to take it on. Talk about playing hard to get! And that 22-carat gold battle-axe rotor? It's so delicate that traditional machining said, "No, thank you!" But never fear, MB&F found a way. They always do.
Now, about that world-premiere crown. It has a “double de-clutch” system (which I initially thought was a dance move), making it both innovative and secure. In colours like white or British racing green, the HM8 Mark 2 isn't just a watch; it's a statement. And for those needing some extra exclusivity, the British racing green version is limited to 33 pieces.
With the HM8 Mark 2, it's never too late to follow your dreams. And who knows? With a watch like this, you might even get to places on time!
