just saw it!

i just saw the hm4 and had a chance to speak to max busser... can i just say... wow.
the design is like nothing else you've ever seen in a mechanical watch, and the movement in action is so incredibly beautiful. i probably should keep the superlatives to a minimum, but it was pretty amazing. too bad it's too big for my puny wrists (and that i don't really have a spare 245 grand floating around).

Crown question
By: aaronm : July 7th, 2010-06:22
If one crown is only used for setting the time, does it still pull out or is the "neutral" position time setting? I'd worry that the time would get accidentally changed by bumping the, really quite exposed, crown thanks for the report a
