The newest HM8 Mark 2 from independent watch brand MB&F boasts a speedometer gauge-style display on the side of the case (so you can read the time while your hands are on the steering wheel) to indicate the hours and minutes. The titanium watch features a British racing green CarbonMacrolon composite high-tech material over the case (a body panel) that is lightweight (eight times less than steel) yet incredibly strong thanks to the fact that the polymer is injected with carbon nanotubes. The auto-inspired futuristic watch features a world-premiere hidden crown with a double de-clutch system. Just 33 pieces of this version will be made.

The one rule that Maximilian Büsser & Friends follow is to rebel. Rooted in the laboratory-based artistic concept of collaboration, the brand gathers watchmaking professionals to cultivate timepieces that are rare and radical. Cooperation is the key element to achieving the best clockwor. The brand's 'Friends' include varying talents of product designers, photographers, manufacturers and more.While tradition underpins the brand's values, it is reinterpreted to suit the contemporary consumer, materializing time into three-dimensional kinetic sculptures that speak of and establish legacy.From MB&F's collaboration with Bulgari that birthed a bedazzling, diamond-imbedded dome timepiece, to the baffling bulldog structure of its Horological Machine No'10, the multi-dimensionality of timepieces created by Maximilian Büsser & Friends are astonishingly animate, telling not only the story of time, but also of geometry, history and art.
