Maximilian Büsser & Friends HM4 “Thunderbolt” Watch Coming July 7th

Maximilian Büsser & Friends are known for producing some of the most radical horological machines on the market. In just a few weeks, they’ll be releasing their newest and most intriguing timepiece yet, the Horological Machine Number 4, otherwise known as the ”Thunderbolt.”

At first glance, when you look at this exclusive image of the HMN4, you won’t quite know what to think. But after a more intense look, you’ll slowly recognize and be shocked to find out that the design was inspired by the A-10 Warthog, a classic military plane used by the United States Air Force in the 1970’s. Amazingly this watch has been under development for 3 years and is made up of an unprecedented 311 pieces.  This dream watch, which was specifically designed for Max Busser, founder of MB&F, will have two crowns–one for winding the watch and the other for adjusting the time.

Though we won’t see the full watch in all its glory–or know its price–until July 7th, it’s clear that much like their timepieces, ”MB&F has once again used their synergy to become much greater than the sum of their parts”. Stay tuned for updates.
