New MB&F HM8 Mark 2 Blue Edition
A super sports car for the wrist, with a lightweight titanium chassis and a sleek, metallized royal blue body.
Since gearheads and petrolheads tend to share similar passions, it won’t surprise our readers that one of Max Buser’s childhood dreams was to become a car designer. Although he eventually designed watches, his fantasies about cars found their way into his creations. One of his early inspirations was the Amida Digitrend watch, a 1976 horizontal time display model that was almost surprisingly resurrected a few days ago. Often referred to as driver’s watches, this type of timepiece features a horizontal time display, allowing the driver to check the time at a glance without having to lift his wrist from the steering wheel. Following a consistent trajectory of supercar-inspired cheap replica watches, MB&F presents the third generation of the HM8 Mark 2, which features a sleek, gleaming sapphire blue body.
In 2012, MB&F released the HM5, a 1970s-style driver’s watch with a functional shutter that charges the lume and a sapphire prism that displays the jumping hours and minutes vertically in a window shaped like an old-school speedometer. The HMX 10th Anniversary model was also inspired by supercars, followed in 2016 by the HM8 “Can-Am”, with a roll cage riveted to the body, inspired by the crazy cars that compete in the “Can-Am” (Canada-American Challenge Cup). The Can-Am sports racing series ran from 1966 to 1987 and pitted hairy cars with unlimited engine capacity and few technical regulations against each other in exciting, rowdy and dangerous races. The HM8 Can-Am features a sapphire crystal that reveals the rotor of a Girard-Perregaux-based movement, the same one found in the 2023 HM8 Mark 2, and is available with a CarbonMacrolon case in white or British Racing Green.

Inspired by the look of the Porsche 918 Spyder and Abarth 750 Zagato Double, the HM8 Mark 2 is built like a car, with the engine mounted on a waterproof titanium chassis and then the body panels added. The panels are made from lightweight yet resilient titanium and finished with CarbonMacrolon. Developed exclusively for MB&F, CarbonMacrolon is a carbon nanotube-infused polymer matrix invented by Bayer that is as strong as steel but eight times lighter. Versatile and pleasant to the touch, the material can be painted, polished, sandblasted, satin-finished, painted and more.
The aerodynamic HM8 Mark 2 case is made of grade 5 titanium with a blue CarbonMacrolon panel and is 47mm long, 41.5mm wide and 19mm high at the display end of the case. The crown is located near the trunk (trunk) of the car and is well concealed and can only be extracted by pushing and twisting to protect the movement. The mineral pigments used on this translucent material are now the same as those used in metallic car paints, giving the body a shimmering sapphire blue body. high quality replica watch
The viewing panel is made of double-curved anti-reflective sapphire crystal, which allows to see the battle-axe 22K gold rotor on the top as well as the bridge with speed lines on the case back. The horizontal time indication is protected by a structure that resembles the top of Darth Vader's helmet. For improved clarity, the double-reflective sapphire crystal prism integrates a magnifying lens. Placed upside down and arranged on two discs, the numbers are reversed to their normal position when projected through the prism. The hours shown in the left window are jumping hours, and the light blue hand in the right window indicates the trailing minutes.
The MB&F-developed 3D Engine consists of 247 parts and is powered by a Girard-Perregaux automatic base movement with a 42-hour power reserve.
