  • Catalogue Essay

    Without doubt one of the most creative minds in watchmaking, Max Büsser’s eponymous brand MB&F continues to dazzle, inspire, and confound the horological community with every release.

    Broadly inspired by the Medusozoa family of sea creatures, the HM7’s central glass dome houses a beautifully finished 1 minute flying tourbillon with the time displayed on rotating concentric rings, fully lumed of course for legibility at depth. Underneath, the winding rotor has been transformed into a tentacle/engine hybrid with Superluminova highlights reminiscent of the deepest oceans’ weirdest and most wonderful inhabitants.

    Crafted in solid titanium, the HM7 is one of only fifty pieces ever produced with a bold blue ceramic bezel. Presented in superb condition, fresh to market from the original owner, and with its full complement of accessories including the original MB&F box, warranty, wallet and booklets.

    Please note that MB&F generously offers a complimentary service of the watch to the successful bidder within a period of 6 months following this auction.
