HM8 MARK 2

A decade after the first automotive-inspired MB&F Machines, get ready for the HM8 Mark 2, the most technologically evolved drivers' watch to date.

A three-dimensional horological engine, composed of an automatic movement with a jumping hour and trailing minutes module developed in-house by MB&F - featuring a 22K gold automatic winding rotor visible under the supercar-like sapphire crystal cover. 

The HM8 Mark 2 takes everything that MB&F fans have loved in this automotive series over the last 10+ years and has made it more technical, more legible, sleeker and easier to wear. 

Horological Machine N°8 MARK 2 is available in 3 editions:
- in titanium with green CarbonMacrolon® body panels limited to 33 pieces
- in titanium with white CarbonMacrolon® body panels
- in titanium with blue CarbonMacrolon® body panels limited to 33 pieces

Worldwide shipping is offered free of charge. Local customs duties and other taxes applicable in the country of delivery are borne by the buyer.

Description

MB&F’s connection to cars runs deep, starting in 2012 with the HM5, followed by the HMX in 2015, and the HM8 in 2016. Each of these iterations is linked by its instantly recognizable speedometer-style display on the side of the case that recalls the daring and futuristic designs of the 1970s.

The HM8 Mark 2 takes the best features of its predecessors and fuses them into a very different Machine. From HM5, it takes the external bodywork’s very apparent supercar styling; from HMX, the ergonomic, compact size; and from HM8, the visible mechanics and very “kinetic” nature, with its dial-side winding rotor. Place all this within an aerodynamic sandwich of CarbonMacrolon, grade 5 titanium and hyper-complex sapphire crystal, and you get a true supercar for the wrist.

Not only did the design codes of these timepieces find their inspiration in the automobile world, but the construction did too. The HM5 and HM8 Mark 2 are built from an independent water-resistant chassis to which the body panels of the watch are added, while the HMX and HM8 favoured a monobloc construction.

For the new HM8 Mark 2, the body panels in CarbonMacrolon come in a choice of white, British racing green or blue. The white version is paired with a bluish-green CVD rotor and light green minute markers, while the British racing green version comes with a red gold rotor and turquoise minute markers - and is limited to 33 pieces. The latest version in blue is paired with a stainless steel rotor and light blue minute markers.

The Creator

Maximilian Büsser and Friends

After decades conforming to the rules of corporate watchmaking, Max Büsser broke the chains and started a rebellion in 2005; a rebellion called MB&F - Maximilian Büsser & Friends.

MB&F is an artistic concept laboratory based around a simple idea: to assemble collectives of independant watchmaking professionals to develop radical watches - Horological or Legacy Machines. By nurturing teams of talented individuals, harnessing their passion and creativity and crediting each person's essential role, MB&F uses their synergy to become much greater than the sum of its parts. Respecting tradition, but never constrained by it, MB&F reinterprets traditional, high-quality watchmaking into three-dimensional kinetic sculptures.
