MB&F founder Maximilian Büsser speaks to Nicolette Wong about his new HM9 Flow, and the future of his company
There is no seconds hand on any MB&F. If you want seconds, go and buy a watch.” Such is the kind of exhortation that has become signature for Maximilian Büsser, who is regarded as a rock star of sorts in the watchmaking world. His company MB&F (which stands for Maximilian Büsser & Friends) creates timepieces that have never been seen before in the watch industry—beautiful machines with inventive mechanics that just happen to tell the time. His Horological Machine No 1 (or HM1), with its separated hours and minutes display, voluminous 8-shaped case and four-barrel movement, seems tame by comparison to his current works, but it represented a whole new world of watchmaking back in 2007. Eleven years, several prizes, and numerous landmark watches later, Büsser is in Singapore to launch his latest creation, the HM9 Flow.
