Great post!

This one blows me away, especially the Starcruiser. I might change my mind on picking my favorite when I see them both in the metal at a private viewing on the 25th. Looks very promising indeed! What a mouth-watering teaser!
Thanks

Am I so glad to be among the very first customers!!!
By: bernard cheong : October 14th, 2008-20:37
It took me only minutes (seconds) to decide to purchase this when I saw it!!!! A grail watch. From my perspective, at these unusual times of financial crisis, very few watches will be worth the effort to buy. THIS is one of them...for me.
It is heavy, solid, and has a sense of mass on the wirst.

It feels at ease with its spirit of being both a machine and a sculpture. There is a total dynamic tension that creates a feeling of LIFE. The watch remains VISUALLY "moving" and "pulsating" on the wrist. It was MY choice for watch of the year 2008. No do...
Even if I had no money...this is one watch I will save up for and buy.

It is THAT good. It goes way beyond my own limits of imagination. I cannot even recall a time when I was DESPERATE to own an inanimate object. This is one such time. No kidding. I have ZERO interests in MBF as one can see. So..this is a totally unbiased e...

You have awaken me from 2 months watch diet, and I hate you for that cen@jkt

If someone hates you, you must be doing something right. :-) - SJX
So friendly watch. My first association was…

Like protractor. Very special protractor I have a long time and tried to miscarry it many times during the regular cleaning. But it is in my table for this day. Excellent machine from Max team! All my expectations were shift by the very original decisions...
fabulous. another 1(or 2) for my lottery dream list.
By: G99 : October 15th, 2008-02:07
i prefer the starcruiser, it just seems more aesthetically pleasing to me, but thats just me. the only 'criticism' if its possible to criticise something this good, is that on the starcruiser the date triangle would have been more symmetrical at the 12 oc...

A voice of dissent.... Dont like it, more style than substance.
By: 219 : October 15th, 2008-02:46
Looks like a basic automatic movement (regulated at that) with extra cogs to that the movement is upside down, but the display is moved to the side. And yes, there the Urwerk approach (Opus V) is noted. Sure, looks like something Hans Solo would wear, and...
I agree it is not groundbreaking technically
By: SJX : October 15th, 2008-02:48
It's a Girard Perregaux cal. 3100 with a cleverly designed module. But the look is different. Perhaps it is a sad reflection of the market given that a GP movement is so exciting. - SJX
I thought that MB&F were going to alternate...
By: MarcB : October 15th, 2008-10:53
...pieces with in house movements (HM1) with pieces developed on the base of an outside movement (HM2). Is that correct? (and is what I say about HM1 and HM2 correct?). Marc.
Very true - but we had to change the sequence
By: Max Busser : October 15th, 2008-21:14
Hi Marc, First of all, thanks to everyone for the heartwarming praise ! The whole team at MB&F has put incredible efforts and passion to create this new addition to the family. And by the way, even if I say so, it is truly very easy to wear ! (wrist shots...
So true...

Thanks SJX!! I have mixed feelings...
By: RT : October 16th, 2008-02:39
about this watch. Like many others have said, this HM3 doesn't really break any new grounds in terms of design, function, and layout..etc. but I think it's overall appearence is in line with MB&F's creations thus far. I too feel that the GP based movement...
