MB&F Introduces Its Latest 'Machine'

Independent watchmaker MB&F has made a name for itself thanks to wild, unconventional watch designs that, despite not being the most wearable watches, inspire a kind of childlike enthusiasm from watch enthusiasts The HM9 Flow, which MB&F founder Max Büsser kept a carefully guarded secret during this year's Baselworld, has finally been unveiled after three years of development-and it looks like a spaceship for the wrist The watch tells time sideways, like other timepieces built to be worn at the wheel, so that the face of the timepiece can be read vertically at the side of the wrist instead of on top of the wrist.

The "Engines" of the titanium-cased machine house two balance wheels that beat at 2.5 Hz beneath two aerodynamic sapphire-crystal domes that flank the main body of the machine The crown is located on the central body on the opposite side of the watch's dial MB&F first used a variation of this internal mechanism in its Legacy Machine 2, but that timepiece looked more like your standard wristwatch in terms of case design.

For MB&F fans that have collected Büsser's otherworldly watch creations from its HM6 Alien Nation, its green machine HM7 Aquapod, or, most recently, its transformer robot clock Grant, the HM9 Flow will be the piece to take their collection to the next realm. . Source
