Max is resolutely refusing to introduce new models in the middle of the noise of the Basel and Geneva events.
But showing the evolution of his work at this time is part of the game.
HM1 Titanium & Rose Gold
Note the new dial allowing deeper looks at the movement on the titanium. The new titanium model is also surprisingly light and with the new wider strap more comfortable and under control on the wrist. You can see the difference in these pictures:
HM1 White Gold
I have to admit that I am not usually the biggest fan of WG, but with the case finishing here it takes on an exceptional depth and with the ruthenium plated dial frame it is my favorite among the HM1s.
HM2
HM2 movement
These are really big chunks of precious metals. Although they are smaller in the outside dimensions my impression is that they are significantly heavier than the HM1 models. And this despite the fact that the case back of the HM2 is in titanium.
