Following in the barely-settled wake of the
HM1, MB&F have revealed this teaser shot of their forthcoming Horological Machine No2, some six months before it is slated to be launched in October this year. MB&F are keeping tight-lipped about details at the moment; the name of the watchmaker and the functions are in fact still a secret. However, what is known is that the movement you see here is functional, and is purpose-built especially for the HM2. Originally designed by MB&F founders Eric Giroud and
Max Büsser some two years ago, the HM2 has been in for a total redesign from the ground up; this new movement is the result. Perhaps most interestingly of all, the watchmaker behind the HM2 is “virtually unknown” to the public at this point. However, with a concept watch as beguiling as the HM2 is sure to be on his resumé, that probably won't be for long.
