A peek at the radical movement of the MB&F HM4
In four months MB&F will present the Horological Machine No4 - "Thunderbolt". Here's a peek at the calibre inside, which is "a complete departure from any watch movement known today." The HM4 will be the most radical looking machine yet. - SJX This messag...
No base
According to Max, " Every part has been developed and created for it (including the regulating system !)." - SJX
Yes. And...

not really
i never found MB&F watches over priced or in the expensive range , even on day one when the very first piece of the brand rolled out, max got every thing balanced, but when it comes to creativity and innovation he is light years a head of our time. totall...
:(
You started it, now you want me to stop. I can't . I took pictures of nonsense every nite . Still hesitant to edit, so no RAW, but yet not happy with the colors. Still learning pictures composition. Feels like incompetent bastard. Will take photo class (a...
will we see death star?
boy... i can't wait to see the finish product. it reminds me of the t wing star fighter...
I love the tiny details whic no one will ever see, such as the
clover shaped "screws" on the top part of the movement, the design of which is also found on the crowns as well as Max's now trademark "shuriken" symbol appearing on the back of the movement
no way John!
This watch is pretty big - If an HM3 doesnt fit - this will not. This is the coolest watch to ever have been made in the history of watches. Ok, so that's a bold statement. But, I'm not kidding - its so amazing in its design, layout, forward thinking - th...
SIGH.....
I do sometime wish I have your wrist size....almost any watch looks perfect on you. Btw, I love , I mean I REALLY LOVE how KARI 27 looks on your wrist I have a strange rule, if the watch is not a circular shape, big is ok and actually quite welcoming. As ...
Strange and Intreguing
It looks like the rotor is not much larger than the balance wheel. I am expecting a front display of some sort, those pinions on the front remind me of the Parmagiani Bugatti A
From the pics I don't think that is a rotor...
but is just a bridge of some sort. I see 2 barrels, no tourbillon, time indication at the ends of those "wings". One crown for winding and the other for setting ? I am still stumped, however, on what those channels on the "wings" are for. Don
Aaron, what (if anything)...
... do you take from the respective diameters of those pinions? Cheers, pplater.
From Diameter...
and the visable wheel protruding I'm assuming the pinion on the right has at least 2 things, probably hour and minute. It it too thick to only be one, and the wheel corner looks quite like the step-down wheel that usually goes between the canon pinion and...
Pushing the boundaries again...
Max and his team do create wonderful machines. I wonder how it will look housed in a case??? We will all have to wait! Cheers, Tim
Beam me up, Scotty!
I love the radical spaceship look of this movement. What will the actual cased watch look like? I can't even begin to imagine, but I suspect it will be something unique and interesting. Looking forward to learning more! Cheers, Daos
OK, maybe it will be...
... novel and impressive (as we've come to expect from Max Busser), but to be frank all this early hyperbole is just a little bemusing, and (in the absence of any further intelligence) mildly surprising. Cheers, pplater.
This is marketing 101
Built up the hype. Hey, it's mb=make believe. But judging from 3 sources (2 have seen the proto) and considering their background (they have acute nose, they can smell BS), this is a "unique" watch. Whether it's groundbreaking I didn't inquire further. Bu...
