Last week Max Busser was in Singapore to launch his latest creation…The MB&F MOONMACHINE

See Ian’s post of the Press Release here ….. [revo-online.com]

This is a collabration with Finnish watchmaker Stepan Sarpaneva. He transformed the HM3 frog with a moon phase indicator and northern sky rotor. The design is based on the HM3 and powered by a Girard-Perregaux base, it comes in Ti case with white gold moon face/blue sky and pink gold case with pink gold moon/ anthracite sky. Both are limited to 18 pieces. Here are the highlights of the cocktail held at L'Atelier by The Hour Glass…….

The winding rotor is a nicely blued 22k gold disc with laser-pierced stars and constellations visible in the northern sky. A beautiful piece indeed!

Thank you Max and The Hour Glass for the opportunity to see the Moon Machine up close. I am wondering what would his next creation be and who will he be working with. Well, we’ll just have to wait till next year smiling smiley

Of the HM3, which is, to me, probably one of the best machines from Max. Thanks Zach for the detailed report and to THG for hosting this event. I am always looking forward to seeing the new ideas from Max's and never get disappointed.

The reception to the HM3 MOONMACHINE has been very positive and, with a great watch and superb events like these, that's no surprise

Wonderful report at an excellent location.
The Hour Glass Singapore is such a warm home for the watch community.
Great pictures as usually and I think I am repeating mysql,f when I say that for me
the Sarpaneva/MB&F Frog is the best from the HM3 series.

A dinner was also held the night before. Max prefer meeting small groups of collectors at each event for close and personal chats with them. (pics supplied by The Hour Glass)
