de Grisogono Meccanico vs. MB&F HM1 Review

Bernard Cheong's provocative review from 2008 offers a candid comparison between the de Grisogono Meccanico and the MB&F HM1. His unconventional approach, using vivid analogies, critiques the finishing and overall execution of the Meccanico while highlighting the strengths of the MB&F HM1. This post provides a unique, unfiltered perspective on independent watchmaking from over a decade ago.

What can I say...???

bad sex is better than no sex or???

I wanted so much to LIKE to LOVE to HAVE the de Grisogono Meccanico and the Opus 8.

Hey, and for those who know me, I do get enough sex. AND..return sex had now found me to like the Opus 8 a bit better!!!

So..what greeted me with de Grisogono Meccanico..huh?

It was like all sex...both the act and the finish...literally..

Pictures speak for themselves!!!

Am I singling out some wacky watches??? When the world already marks me down as a lover of the "far side"? Believe me..I am singling!

Here are the women...

 One wild one with dual time and digital display...and sexy and very sexy. The de Grisogono.

Another, an older more experienced woman who has been in the watch industry, inside it, longer..more conservative on the outside, wilder on the inside..the MBF1.

Yes..that's my woman on the right..you can recognise that I inseminated the MBF with my Bell and Ross canvass strap.

Comparing ..not intentionally but after a few drinks..with candor and simple thinking..the MBF and the de Grisogono are strangely quite good IMHO..with Max having worked in Harry Winstoon, and Fawaz with Chopard.

But sex can turn when in private, in the bedroom..

look at how the overt "sexy" Meccanico performs in bed!

Its the execution..of the finish..and I can hear the excuses of "prototype" but one can only do so much..you know?

 Here the 9 positions minus one from the back..

I love fawaz's work from the past 3 years..here's the one that great foreplay and the 2 pushers can rotate the dial into 4 different positions of the aperture, to reveal 4 different "complications"..great case finish and interior too.

What can be great sex????

Look at what Chopard did with their tourbillon..sigh..

Is the Maccanico MORE sexy than any other watch in Basel? Possibly..yes..presisely like the head turner that you just lifted your eyes from the monitor and swivelled your head around..but in bed??

The male and female parts...

After sex...

The LUC is so much sexier, another example where an experienced woman knows how to please her partner.

For me, I like both a wild woman out of bed and in bed..

So here..more naked than before, and trust me..sex gets better when I experiment more, tried more ..and I do my research..safe sex .

I had a live in period of 12 months or more with my current MBF1.

In being radical, making the MBF1 was in my mind...and probably in the minds of non watch people (the MBF1 and the Gefica were both featured as iconic heralds of the new age by the International Herald Tribune in 2007) was a correct design.

 Here is the naked new MBF 1 in titanium ( silky, wet, see thru swimsuit).

See waht I mean by wild wet sex!!!

Inside.

Yeah..

Only one thing..the MBF strap..the new one as you can see..still doesn't work aesthetically...I feel my version with the broad interpretation from lugs to the buckle is simply "better"...otherwise..good sex.

 I hope Fawaz G can take critism..fact is, he has done some great work. But this one is no way.

These are lighter side opinions..this watch is an expensive project, and does herald in a new age...the Meccanico I mean. But it does have some very serious flaws.

I have sent him, by courier, a Tenga award. I love these products...the Tengas I mean.

 Hmmm. I hope Fawaz has a sense of humor, I have never seen the guy smile in any pics.

And this post probably won't bring him any closer to that..chuckles.

 The japanese take their sex very seriously.
