MB&F Horological Machine No. 2 Ceramic Watch

Max Busser of MB&F (that "MB") knows what it takes to keep the novelty segment of the luxury watch market interested. MB&F essentially has only three different watches, yet the brand has reached an almost legendary status given the anticipation around each newly released version of his horological machines. While MB&F has already released their third watch, this is a modified version of their second major release, the Horological Machine N0. 2.

The difference here is the use of ceramic materials to make up the front plate of the watch case. Two metals are offered in a limited edition of 99 models total. 33 in rose gold with black matte finished ceramic and titanium, while 66 models will be offered with an all titanium and ceramic case. However, the MB&F signature rotor is rose gold on both models, and visible through the sapphire caseback window.

The first watch from Max Büsser's new watch line is nothing short of spectacular. Büsser is famed for his work with Jaeger-LeCoultre and Harry Winston's timepiece division. The first timepiece from his new company, Maximilian Büsser and Friends, is the Horological Machine No. 1.

The dial on the right is for reading minutes and the left dial shows the hours. Both dials have mounted floating sapphire subdials. Straddling the distance between the two dials is a one-minute tourbillon. The mechanism involved is complex and the watch has 376 parts and 81 functional jewels. Because of the detail involved only 100 watches will be made in the next three years. The watch comes in white gold or rose gold, with a choice of silver-effect or dark gray dials. For an in-depth look at the mechanism check out Goldarths Review and for a beautiful photo set of the watch you have to see this one from Watching Horology.
