MB&F HMX Black Badger

20 Mar, 2016
MB&F collaborated with the talented James Thompson of Black Badger Advanced Composites to add two variations to their existing line, namely the HMX Black Badger and the Starfleet Machine Black Badger. MB&F HMX Black Badger a limited series of 3 x 18 pieces reprises the HMX's unique display. Jumping hours and trailing minutes are carried by discs that are positioned flat on top of the movement. They are angled at 90° and enlarged by a double prism and a magnifier. Indications are read from a vertical window, cut in the steel and titanium case. MB&F has souped up the popular casket-shaped driver's watch of the 1970s into a supercar version. The entire movement, designed like an engine, can be seen through the wide sapphire crystal pane in the watch's "hood". For this version, the engine's rocket covers are cut from blocks of lume, Black Badger's signature material, to illuminate this HMX Black Badger in green, blue or purple.
