Founded in 2005 by Maximilian Büsser, MB&F has established itself as one of the most innovative and unconventional names in contemporary independent watchmaking. Rejecting traditional notions of horological design, the brand has earned international acclaim for its three-dimensional “Horological Machines,” creations that blur the boundaries between kinetic sculpture, mechanical engineering and haute horlogerie. Produced in extremely limited numbers, MB&F timepieces are celebrated for their avant-garde aesthetics, inventive complications and uncompromising craftsmanship, embodying a creative vision that has redefined the possibilities of modern watchmaking.

Introduced as a reinterpretation of the marque’s celebrated automotive-inspired HM8 lineage, the present creation features a futuristic chassis-like construction combining lightweight titanium with its proprietary composition blue CarbonMacrolon® body panels. Its highly sculptural case houses MB&F’s signature three-dimensional engine, displaying bi-directional jumping hours and trailing minutes through an intricate optical prism system. Produced in a limited edition, the HM8 Mark 2 stands as a compelling expression of MB&F’s relentless pursuit of innovation.
