MB&F And Alain Silberstein HM2.2 “Black Box” Watch Watch Releases

Sometimes I wait a little after news "breaks" to go over a subject. Which was the situation with Megabytes&F's new HM (horological machine) 2.2 watch. The watch is really a further extension from the quite pricey luxury HM2 watch. Megabytes&F has provided the timepiece several version completed in combinations of metals (gold, titanium...), ceramic, not to mention styles and colors. I have worn a couple of of these, and admit they're sorta awesome. Among the greatest criticisms of this watch is it was unwearable. True, the the wide box is difficult to put on in your wrist, however it is not exactly "unwearable" (such as the DeWitt WX-1). From the practical perspective Megabytes&F watches are wearable art. Couple of people would really put on and HM1, HM2, or HM3 watch constantly, however i for just one quite appreciate them. Max Busser of the trademark is really a marketing master too. He really understands how to get people looking forward to his watches, and products similar to this special edition of 8 pieces HM2.2 watch are a good was to do that.

For me, this collaboration with watch maker Alain Silberstein is very impressive. I don't know whose idea it was, Max's or Alain's but the result is said to have quite shocked Mr. Busser. What Alain did is take a watch, make some arguably minor changes, and totally alter the look of the timepiece. His inspiration was vintage box style cameras from the 1940s, and you can see the connection in the design. Only the little colors triangle, square, and circle indicate his hallmark touch. Well those and the smiling moon phase indicator (styled after art nouveau characters. This "Little Nemo") .

Silberstein really changed how the watch seems to tell the time and other indications - even though he really didn't. What he did do is make reading the watch easier. As such, you can read the retrograde minutes, jumping out, and retrograde date and moon phase indicator with pleasant ease. While Busser is a showman, Alain is a true watchmaker who emphasizes function, and happens to be a great contemporary French artist as well. Oh, and I like that the dials have luminant on them. Much of the time these $100,000 watch forgo such "functional" embellishments.

Besides the new looks from the watch (which are really a little subdued given how flashy the 2 prefer to me, you will find some interesting purposes of materials. Begin to see the spec list below for full particulars, but let me particularly mention a couple of of the things that you need to now. The majority of the watch situation is within titanium, having a mostly steel interior. The Titanium is covered inside a special kind of PVD that utilizes silicium inside it (that haute material getting used in certain ultra high-finish stuff). So apart from being exotic, how can this be done? Well pretty watches only stay pretty as long as you do not get your mitts in it. Finger marks would be the bane of the nice presentation. But Silberstein states the new coating is extremely resistant against fingerprints, to ensure that the outside of the situation is most always searching presentable and clean. Love he could make this happen. Not just that, however the result's suppose to look quite impressive. A great utilization of exotic materials for additional reasons than simply to become exotic.

Within the watch is mainly exactly the same HM2 automatic movement that happens to be a pleasure to look at. Alain added a 22k blued gold (yup!) automatic rotor that's formed just like a fight axe. You will find, that's not only me speaking, however the automatic rotor is deliberately formed just like a kick-ass weapon! Along the side of the timepiece is a straightforward inscription which should sum everything up for you personally. “Le vrai bonheur est d’avoir sa passion pour métier,” which means “True happiness is getting one’s desire for an occupation.Inches To be sure, and therefore why I actually do the job which i do leaving comments and looking at watches. I appear to stay in good company using these two males. I anticipate hopefully looking at an HM2.2 Black Box watch sometime, though that likelihood of that aren't likely. With simply 8 pieces ever, and enough fans of both M&F and Alain Silberstein available, these watch are gonna go fast (otherwise already).
