Description

MB&F’s horological machines are what childhood dreams are made of. Max Büsser kept the child in him alive who grew into a creative adult.

The first Horological Machine (HM) was introduced in 2006. The world had not seen anything like it before. Loved, hated, but never ignored. A technical marvel, and a huge, highly complex timepiece, it featured a central tourbillon with two separated dials – one with retrograde hours, one with retrograde minutes and power reserve. A pure mechanical art piece. Thus the journey of the HM, along with it that of MB&F began.

Since then, the small independent manufacturer has produced 10 HMs numbered sequentially, plus an HMX made to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the brand.

The present reference is that celebratory reference MB&F HMX Green launched in 2015.
It was the brand’s way of saying Thank You to everybody who had supported their horological journey and creations in the past 10 years.

Designed like a supercar, HMX is a driver’s watch with bi-directional jumping hours and trailing minutes. Rotating discs on top of the movement are reflected vertically and magnified by optical prisms. Visible through a curved sapphire crystal, the movement is designed like a supercar engine, down to the dual “rocker covers” including shiny oil filler caps.

The case measures 46.8 x 44.3 x 20.7 mm and is carved in grade 5 titanium and steel, with detailing in green.
The automatic movement has a 45hr power reserve. The mechanical beautiful of it can be admired through sapphire crystals on top, front and back.
