Catalogue Essay
Another glimpse into the horological madness of Max Büsser – and his friends – the HM8 is an automotive-inspired marvel which pays tribute to the Canadian-American Challenge Cup (Can-Am), a sport car racing series whose lack of rules closely mirrors the ethos of Büsser himself.
Rendered in 18K pink gold and titanium, the case design features striking roll bars in titanium curving over the case, and a “discs and prisms” display for the hours and minutes situated at the southern end of the case. The signature MB&F battle axe-shaped rotor is 22K gold with a distinctive blue coating. According to MB&F’s own description, the HM8 is an amalgamation of the HM3 and the HM5 with an infusion of design aesthetics from Can-Am race cars. The movement uses a Girard-Perregaux ébauche to power the bi-directional jumping hours and minutes.
Offered by the original owner, it retains its original guarantee and presentation box, and is presented in overall excellent condition.
Please note that MB&F generously offers a complementary servicing of the watch to the winning bidder within a period of 6 months after the sale.
