After the 311 part Engine which was unveiled in March
during Basel, here is probably the most complex case in the history of
horology to protect and magnify it.
Titanium and Sapphire – 150 hours of machining and
polishing just for the central Sapphire case (that is close to four
weeks of machining for one piece !), over 60 hours of machining and
finishing for the titanium case back, etc, etc… In our twenty years of
horology, this is the greatest challenge Serge Kriknoff and I have been
up to.
So what is the Thunderbolt ? A tribute to
Aviation…
Why ? Because from the age of 8 to 12-13 I spent
every free minute crafting model airplanes… They were everywhere in my
room. Hanging from the ceilings, accumulating on the shelves, in the
cupboards. I would spend hours assembling, modifying, painting anything
which had two wings. HM4 is a very personal interpretation of what would
happen if you crossed a piece of ultra high end horology with the world
of aeronautics.
HM4 Thunderbolt is the next step in our creative
quest for horological kinetic art.
If you have any questions do not hesitate. The whole
MB&F team is looking forward to your feedback.
With our very best regards,
Maximilian
PS there are many more images on the download link,
and to show how the Thunderbolt looks on a wrist, I included hereunder a
photo of myself with my skinny wrists wearing the Machine !
