Horological Machine No4 ThunderboltInspiration and Realization: A long childhood passion for assembling model aircraft had Maximilian Büsser's walls, cupboards and ceiling covered in small aircraft of every description.Planes were what he saw last thing at night and planes were what he saw first thing each morning.The boy became a man, but something of the child and his planes remained, quietly waiting until...HM4 Thunderbolt! Many boys sketch supercars and fast planes, but few have the drive and determination to make their dreams come true.Büsser created MB&F to do just that.The HM4 Thunderbolt is born of the replica Chopard 168992-3001 watch child's fantasy and the man's tenacity.?Engine: HM4's engine was entirely designed and developed by MB&F over three years of intensive work with Laurent Besse and Beranger Reynard of Les Artisans Horlogers.Each of the 311 components were developed specifically for the Thunderbolt, no off-the-shelf mechanisms or parts were used at all due to the extreme nature of its architecture.?
Two mainspring barrels connected in parallel provide 72 hours of energy, and they transfer their power to the dual jet-turbine-like indication pods (one displaying the hours and minutes, the other the power reserve) vertical gear trains.Visible through a shaped sapphire display panel on the top of the case, a distinctive streamlined replica Chopard 276149-0008 watch cock supports the balance, its centre cut away to reveal as much of the oscillating wheel as possible and validating the "kinetic" in MB&F's "kinetic art". A work of art rewards when viewed from different angles and the Thunderbolt is no exception.
Turning the machine over reveals a veritable panorama of meticulously finished micro engineering through the sapphire sections.In a playful trompe d'oeil, what at first glance appears to be a micro-rotor in the replica Chopard 168331-3002 watch form of MB&F's iconic battle-axe is actually a bridge.Indications: For a timepiece not developed specifically to tell the time, HM4 performs that role superbly.In fact, with its highly legible dials perpendicular to the wearer's wrist, Horological Machine No4 might be described as the perfect pilot's or driver's watch.
