The MB&F HMX launch in Singapore.

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of MB&F, founder Maxilimian Busser was in Singapore to launch the HMX. Inspired by supercars, the HMX resembles the HM5. Like the HM5, time is read through a side window using light reflected from two sapphire optical prisms. Using a Selita as a base movement, it features a jumping hour mechanism that can be adjusted in both directions. The HMX is limited to 80 pieces.  

 The Press luncheon was hosted by The Hour Glass at Senso Ristorante & Bar.

 Max sharing with us the development of the brand through the years.

 Max introduced the HMX.

















The HMX is limited to a small production run of 80 pieces in Grade 5 Ti and stainless steel, available in Bugatti Blue, Lotus Black, Ferrari Red and British Racing Green (20 pieces each).

Design to look like race car rocker covers, there are two caps that can be unscrew for oiling the jewelled bearings of the hour and minute discs during servicing of the watch.

The tagline "A creative adult is a child who survived" beautifully engraved on the 22K gold rotor.

  The many hours of machining resulted in this beautifully crafted case!

  Wears pretty well on my wrist.


The Bugatti Blue and British Racing Green were the two models we got to see.
