YES Sir! I am stretching my dollars...but over the years, no regrets. More..
I believe i will never sell these pieces as they form a greta portion of my own social memories and life.
Today, a great poet and medical doctor Goh Poh Seng passed away. The memories of the lounge he set up in Singapore and the restaurant in the 80s were so much a part of my younger days.
They are all gone and closed down.
These watches...20 years from now...I want to sit back and remember these days. And all of the purists and my friends.
They are unique enough..rare enough...but at least a few dozen have been made so that they have points of reference.
I don't make any watches, but it feels as though some of these are so much a part of the fortunate owners.
I have felt it with EVERY MB&F.
Unveiling the HM2-SV from Max Busser & Friends
The HM2 is shaping up to be a platform for Max to express various designs. Looking forward to seeing this in the metal in Geneva. - SJX Press release: Horological Machine N o 2- SV (Sapphire Vision) MB&F presents Horological Machine N o 2-SV, featuring a ...
Thanks for sharing JX!!
its well worth the wait. This one is literally BEGGING for a look-see and TOUCH in the metal. Doing so might be difficult given its ultra limited numbers though. Another winner by MBF! Thanks again for sharing...
Max You SOG! Damn nice!
I ain't a fan of iterations but this skeleton sapphire view of the insides... Will you change my case? Very nice Max and MB&F!
MB&F....
the man and the brand, are light years ahead of the current time, i wouldn't use the word futuristic to describe it, that would put it in time frame, which is the opposite to the fact that WHOLE MB&F is in timeless frames. Faisal
the little bird told me
the watch case might look something like this this HM2 is damn pretty! does its dimensions change? if i have to pick on anything it ll be the blued torsion bars to add rigidity to the case rim, i would preferred a more curvy/fancy design or simply making ...
Even better than the original. Congratulations.
Fantastic version of an amazing piece. Thanks. Vte
Best HM2 ever... probably best HM ever?
Great idea from Max to end the HM2 series... I hope I will get the chance to see it in the metal.
metal?
see in it the metal?? more like glass!!! best looking HM2....when i i ever afford one...sigh
LOL
That's a good one, you are right I too will have to save for decades to buy one, but it does not matter: I see these objects as pure art, and luckily we can appreciate pieces of art without owning them. I will be very happy just to see it in the glass and...
Silver and Blue
Very beautiful indeed. My favorite HM2 thus far! Great job Max! Hope to see it in person one day. Jon (Z3)
Intersting
And not 100% surprising, it's the logical step after the all sapphire face of the Only Watch A
Thanks guys! This is one that really needs to be seen "in the crystal"
A few esteemed PuristS will be visiting with us in Geneva next week. Hopefully they will be able to get great pics of it!
I understand that the manufacturing
process for the sapphire glass is also extremely intense given the incredible difficulty of craftsmanship on that sapphire top plate and over 55 hours of machining and polishing is required for just for one base plate - with approximately 3 out 4 breaking...
Interesting...
thanks for sharing this info. Makes me eager all the more to see this one in the metal/crystal
:-)
Congrats to all of you at MB&F. Pretty freakin' spectacular, Steve -- and now I finally know what the "SV" stands for! Great seeing you last week! Cheers, Daos
Yikes! As of 930am Singapore time today..I have placed my order for one.
No matter if one owns another HM2...these HM2 platforms are incredibly aesthetically pliable. I can love the many variations...I am biased...but these pieces really work. The "feel good factor" and the "feeling of peace" in owning them....I can only share...
Congrats Bernard!
looks like year will see you taking possession of at least 2 very interesting pieces!

I am very happy for you
Bernard that you derive so much from watches. I must steal a "5 minute on the wrist" from you when you receive this. I am totlaly happy for MB&F and what they have done with the SV. Maybe a bit of a downside for me is that I think it is nicer than my HM2 ...
Your HM2 RG is important...I faced this situation:
Just last week...I had to decide between a Porsche Carrera and a Carrera s or a Turbo. For those not living in Singapore, these cars are taxed to the tune of $230,000 usd minimum.(..and we have to pay a tax every 10 years). Very painful especially to watc...
Heey..guess what comes with a 911? A watch!!! ....
And a familiar visitor from an old friend of ours! Remember Irin from Ulysse Nardin and Harry Winston? She is doing well...and looks as great as ever! But I digress...the Porsche 911 wristwatch. I got this as a part of the car, plus a great cool Porsche t...
congrats
bernard, congrats on the car...again. do u have the singapore porsche club Anonimo club watch?
Oh...I didn't know there was one such.
singapore porsche club Anonimo watch...I think that's maybe for the earlier Porsche owners. I have only had these cars since 2007.
Remember that your piece was...
Remember that your piece was the original design. The original concept was to create the world's most complex case (over 100 components in the case alone) of modular design inspired by the Meccano sets that Max played with as a child. This...
Congratulation Bernard :-)
I think you are very spot on regarding the HM2 and this particular iteration is just so beautiful. Also congrats on your new Porsche...I like the idea of you owning it till the day you retire. Hope to be able to view your precious when I next meet you Lov...
Looks Great
I hadn't been overly enamoured with the original HM2's but I've got to say this crystal case really adds something.
This is beautiful!
While I enjoy the RG HM2, this SV version somehow seems like the perfect iteration of the watch. It's otherworldly, and yet this design doesn't seem forced at all. It seems effortless, weightless. I'm really enjoying it. Great job, MB&F. Cheers, Daos
What a beauty and congrats Bernard!!
Wow this watch is the most beautiful variant I have to say. There's nothing as cool as a clear case for such a brave design! I'm very eager to see one in the metal.. Errm.. I mean crystal! Huge congrats to Bernard to be one of the first to sign up! It'll ...
