old watches
Max Busser on the planet well known look at brand name MB&F was in Singapore to release its brand name new observe model: MB&F Horological Machine No3 (HM3). This new design is the brand's another great presentation it offers to the press and a select group of collectors. As with the former two Horological Machines, the HM3 defies expectations but simultaneously affirms all that horology faddists have come to expect from MB&F. Busser presents that his inspiration was twofold: he intended to build a spaceship for the wrist and a wristwatch that was simply glamorous. When one looks at this eminently wearable observe design, one could remind with the Millennium Falcon from Star Wars. The view is created within two configurations, one crafted with its cones in line with the wearer's arm (Starcruiser) while the other designed with its cones perpendicular to the wearer's arm (Sidewinder). The story here is told by both the shape from the timepiece and the configuration from the movement, with balance assembly and rotor which employed to show the dialside. Hours and minutes are displayd by the two replica watches cones (through the ceramic ball bearings wich are observable through the case back) while the date is supplied through a ring around the movement. Therefore the movement appears to be shaped by the display of time. The new look at, out of any question, could catch many people's eyes for the prominent creation and glamorous looking.
