Hands-On: With the MB&F HMX Tenth Anniversary Watch, And A Second Look At HM6 (Live Pics, Though
This year is the tenth anniversary of one of the most interesting ongoing stories in watchmaking: the horological think-tank and design refinery known as MB&F. The company got its start when Max Büsser, formerly the head of the watch division of Harry Winston (where he helmed, among other things, the genesis of the legendary Opus series of watches) decided to leave the relative security of corporate life in the watch world (I use the world “relative” advisedly) and pursue his own very idiosyncratic vision of horological design. The basic inspiration behind the general design language of MB&F is pretty well known to serious enthusiasts – much of it is derived from Büsser’s own childhood fascination with the seemingly endlessly inventive worlds of fantasy, and science fiction, and he’s mined those worlds very effectively for both specific design cues, and for something more intangible: a marriage of nostalgia and design innovation, with an

Do You Find Your Speedy Is Difficult To Wind..
I love my Speedy....but the crown is set so deep in the crown guards that it seems the only way to wind it is by the very sharp edges at the top..I'm not a large person; 6', 190lbs...and my fingers are average for my size....but it just seems that the design leaves something to be desired...Only the edge sticking out to be able to get a decent grip on seems like a waste of a very well designed crown...I mean, why have a large crown if you can only use the very end of it.. It would be perfect if it were screw down...then it would pop out for a full grip.Anybody else notice this ??

New 372 Friday - Hallelujah!
Today was a great day my friends and I just wanted to share a few pics with you fellas. After weeks of debating back and forth between the classic luminor style 372 and the newly released radiomir style 587 I finally decided crownguard for the win and took delivery of this beauty below. This one is so versatile that it really can dress up/down to a serious extent. The strap is fresh from leather master and great friend Greg Stevens himself in case anybody was wondering - thanks for looking fellas!

Five year old watch breaks for second time
Purchased a sub c just over 5 years ago and wouldn't even call it a daily. Two years in it stopped and was told while still under warranty a jewel had come loose and jammed the movement. Received full service at the time Today just 3 years later I've been daily wearing it while down in Florida Swimming etc but certainly nothing out of the ordinary. All of a sudden it just stopped. Tried winding but seems nothing catches when I'm trying to wind it. I can change time and date no problem but nothing will get it going. Mainspring? Lube job? Stem problem ?Really though. Twice in 5 years. I beat the snot out of my Seiko daily and still runs like a top
