MB&F launches HM8 Mark 2 Purple, inspired by supercar mania
MB&F, with its wild high quality watches replica designs, isn’t the first brand you think of when you think of automotive timepieces. You might think of the Monaco from TAG Heuer, or the Daytona from Rolex. However, MB&F does have automotive inspiration in its blood. It’s just that it’s more like Pagani than Peugeot, meaning those crazy supercars with exaggerated shapes. Take, for example, the new MB&F HM8 Mark 2 Purple watch.
Looking at this slightly U-shaped watch measuring 47mm x 41.5mm x 19mm, with its rotor exposed under a curved sapphire crystal, it’s hard to immediately see the automotive connection. However, thinking about it on a conceptual level, you need to realize that you’re not looking at the entire car. You’re looking at the exposed engine bay of a mid-engined monster, viewed from the rear. At least, if you look at it from a traditional top-down perspective.MB&F HM8 Mark 2 Purple
Turning your gaze to the side of the watch (where the driver and passenger seats are in this concept car), you’ll notice two dials showing the hours and minutes. The dials are designed to face inwards when worn, meaning they’ll also face you if you’re driving, making it easy to read the time.
Looking at the name of this watch – HM8 Mark 2 Purple – one of its key features is obviously the colour. The previous HM8 and last year’s HM8 Mark 2 both came in a fairly traditional white, blue and racing green colourway, so purple is something of a notable break – especially for a case, as they’ve also used purple dials in the past. It’s more exotic, more flashy and less rooted in motorsport or any other actual automotive application. In short, like a supercar.replica Tudor Black Bay
To achieve the rich royal purple hue, MB&F used its proprietary CarbonMacrolon® material. Made from polymers and carbon nanotubes, this composite material is lightweight and extremely durable, just like the technology used in the automotive industry. It can also be polished to a high gloss finish and mounted on a titanium chassis to give it extra strength.
Through the rear sapphire crystal, the HM8 movement is visible. It is actually based on a Girard-Perregaux movement, which was then adapted with MB&F's in-house jumping hour and minute modules. It has a 42-hour power reserve and is powered by an exposed double-sided rotor with an axe-shaped swing arm.
