Maximilian Büsser is in his new home. HM11 presents itself to watch lovers with its breathtaking design as if it reveals the genius of MB&F once again.
One of the watch brands that best fits the definition of extraordinary is MB&F. The extraordinary watches of conductor Maximilian Büsser and his team have dominated the exotic watch market for many years. The new HM11 model, as always, never hesitates to raise the flag to a point that is difficult to reach.
The HM11 Architect model was designed with inspiration from the experimental and futuristic architectural structures and plans of the 1960s. We can also say that HM11 is a house with 4 rooms and a tourbillon balance spring in the center. Frankly, I believe that the design of HM11 was clearly inspired by Charles Hertling's Brenton House.
HM11 has a case made of Grade 5 titanium with a diameter of only 42mm. The thickest part of the case is 23mm, but do not be afraid of this value because the case and lug structure of the watch allow a model of this size to be carried comfortably on the wrist. The case of the watch consists of shiny and brushed surfaces. When looking at the model from above, we see the tourbillon balance spring in the center. The 3 dials of the watch are visible when viewed from the side. The case, consisting of 92 parts, is protected by sapphire crystal, and the water resistance of the watch is stated as 20 meters.
Yes, the flower-like structure of the watch rotates around the center and any face can appear in front of the user. In the first slot, or it might be more accurate to call it the room, there are hour and minute hands to display time. There is a remaining power reserve indicator in the second slot and a thermometer in the third slot. This mechanical thermometer is produced with a Celsius or Fahrenheit scale depending on preference. Temperature measurements can be made from -20 degrees to +60 degrees. After all, what temperature the house is in is important information. The crown of the watch, made of a sapphire crystal disc, is placed in the last slot. One tour of the watch case is completed with stops divided into 8 equal parts. In other words, you cannot freely rotate the HM11's case and leave it at the desired angle.
Developed by MB&F, the manual winding caliber is wound by turning the watch's case counterclockwise around the center. Approximately 10 turns of rotation are required to fully wind the watch. The 29-jewel caliber beats at 18000 vibrations per hour and has a power reserve of 96 hours.
The watches, which come with a spring steel locking mechanism and a folding clasp made of titanium, will be delivered to their new owners with white and green rubber strap options.
Currently available in two versions with blue and rose gold details, HM11 has a production quantity of 25 units for each model and a list price of 207,000 Euros + taxes.
