For aficionados seeking the pinnacle of luxury and innovation in horology, Maximilian Busser and Friends (MB&F) has introduced the HM8 Mark 2 ‘Blue,’ a stunning follow-up to its previously sold-out HM8 Mark 2 Green/White series. Priced at approximately £72,000, this exclusive timepiece promises to elevate one’s presence at the golf range or any social gathering.
Limited to just 33 units worldwide, the HM8 Mark 2 ‘Blue’ captivates with its striking sapphire finish, accentuated by metallic pigments meticulously dispersed throughout. Drawing inspiration from the automotive realm, the design emulates the allure of metallic car paints, employing similar application techniques to achieve a mesmerizing visual effect.
Underneath its exquisite exterior, the timepiece boasts refined internals, combining elements from previous MB&F limited-edition watches. Retaining the supercar aesthetics of the HM5, the compact sizing of the HMX, and the bespoke mechanical craftsmanship of the HM8 Mark 1, the HM8 Mark 2 ‘Blue’ represents the epitome of luxury watchmaking.
Crafted with driving enthusiasts in mind, the exterior design of the Mark 2 features minute and hour discs positioned horizontally and magnified at a 90-degree angle to the vertical display. This thoughtful design element not only adds to the timepiece’s aesthetic appeal but also enhances readability, particularly during moments behind the wheel.
The HM8 Mark 2 ‘Blue’ joins a distinguished lineage of bespoke MB&F watches that pay homage to Maximilian Busser’s profound passion for the automotive world. Notable predecessors include the HM8 ‘Can-Am’ edition, a breathtaking tribute to the legendary motorsport series of the same name.
With its unparalleled blend of artistry, craftsmanship, and automotive inspiration, the HM8 Mark 2 ‘Blue’ stands as a testament to MB&F’s unwavering commitment to pushing the boundaries of luxury watchmaking.
