Maximilian Busser was in Singapore recently to launch his latest avant-garde creation, the HM8 ‘Can-Am’. This watch was inspired by the Canadian-American Challenge Cup - a sports car racing series running from 1966 to 1987. Luxury watch retailer, The Hour Glass, hosted a preview lunch for journalists to learn more about the history of the Can-Am race and to get a feel of the watch that was inspired by it. A dinner was also held for Max to meet with MB&F collectors and to share his story behind the creation of the watch.
This year the Can-Am race would have celebrated their 50th anniversary.
Max showcasing the design concept of the watch over lunch. The HM8 Can-Am comes in 18K white gold/titanium and 18K red gold/titanium. You will notice that the HM8 is a combination of two design elements from both the HM5 and HM3.

Looks really impressive on the wrist!
Glad to meet Max again and my thanks to The Hour Glass for the preview!
