With MB&F International Warranty Validation dated 22 September 2009, setting pin, instruction manual, original fitted presentation box and outer packaging.
MB&F, or Maximilian Busser and friends, is behind the present HM3 Starcruiser. To develop such a sophisticated and futuristic timepiece, it comes with no surprise that the bursting creativity of Maximilian Busser was associated with designer Eric Giroud and watchmaker Jean-Marc Wiederrecht, winner of the award for Best Watchmaker at the 2007 Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Geneve, to turn his imagination into a horological reality.
The HM3 Starcruiser impresses not only by its design and inverted three-dimensional movement with two cones, but also by its beautifully finished bridges and unmistakable 22K gold battle-axe shaped automatic winding rotor.
The present lot is in overall excellent condition and is for the first time offered at auction.
