The New MB&F HM9: Pushing The Envelope To The Next Level (Again)

With MB&F you sometimes wonder how they can move on to the next watch based on their past creations. As both their designs as well as their movements are cutting edge, it is hard to see the next logical step, at least when you name is not Maximilian Büsser and you founded the brand. The challenge is to not only offer a new watch with an incredible wow-factor but also to inject it with sufficient MB&F-DNA and have it as a natural extension of the current collection. With the introduction of the new MB&F HM9, we can say once again; mission accomplished!

Haute Time’s Favorite Watches From MB&F

You always have more fun when with friends, especially when they are working in the watch industry and your name is Maximilian Büsser. In the past 13 years he, together with his friends, has delighted us with the most extraordinary watches. With the synergy that he created with MB&F technical innovation and aesthetic excellence was achieved. When he starts a project all involved don't think outside the box; they simply ignore the fact that there is a box in the first place. This has propelled MB&F to the forefront of independent watchmakers and made it even harder for us to name our favorites!
