Explore the unique MB&F HM8 for OnlyWatch 2017, featuring bespoke art by Cassandra Legendre and Olivier Kuhn. Discover its white gold and titanium case with a special smiley emblem.

Hi everyone,

I've just seen the pictures of the HM8 in its unique OnlyWatch 2017 version, so let me share them here.

The image on the upper side was drawn by Cassandra Legendre who is a classical ballet dancer.

We find in the drawing a robot, a car, a plane and a jellyfish that are elements already seen in previous watches from the brand.

The sculptor Olivier Kuhn has created the little elephant between the hour and minute disks.

It is made of white gold and Titanium.

The MB&F has been replaced by a smiley in link with the drawing made by Casssandra.

It is interesting in those watches made in one sample to discover what are all the details that have been included for the occasion.

Thanks for looking

Best, Mark
