MB&F HM4 No. 4 Razzle Dazzle & Double Trouble Watches

Finally, the first limited edition Horological Machine Number 4 from MB&F is here. My favorite HM series fake watch to date gets done in two cool and very limited versions called the HM4 Razzle Dazzle and HM4 Double Trouble. The difference between the two? The pinup art of course.

Right here you can see a hands-on post on the standard non-limited MB&F HM4 watch. From the start this timepiece was meant to honor MB&F founder Max Busser's love of airplanes with two engine style pods for the time and power reserve indicator. These limited edition models are a more retro take on the concept celebrating World War II era aircraft. Details include real rivets on the titanium "fuselage,?an aged look for the lume on the dials, a bomber-jacket inspired strap, and pinup art on the case body.

Pinup art is a specially honored American tradition ?especially for service men. For a long time crews would celebrate their aircraft by painting images of women and other things as tokens of good luck just as sailors use to do with figureheads on the bows of ships. I wonder if that happens anymore today as much? Done by Geneva-based artist Isabelle Villa, the limited edition HM4 Razzle Dazzle and Double Trouble replica watches have hand-painted figures on the sides of the fake watch case. These cheeky figures are fun but tasteful (as is the Swiss way).

I think there should be a new fake watch modification culture revolving around doing small paintings on fake watch cases ?but that is another story. Both the HM4 Razzle Dazzle and HM4 Double Trouble will be limited to just 8 pieces each. Now that is limited. The dials of the pods are still applied with SuperLumiNova, but now with some copper added to give it an aged patina look.

The cool looks of the HM4 with its various sapphire crystal pieces looks particularly cool in this neat vintage plane style. I can't wait to get some hands-on shots of these pieces. There is something so warm and celebratory about them. To complete the WWII look of the fake watch the strap is meant to look like vintage bomber jacket leather. It is in fact leather sourced from Swiss military issue bags. Good thing they didn't have to ruin a nice jacket for these watches.

MB&F continues to have fun and move forward with their designs. While not AS retro as the Legacy Machine No 1, this is a very fun retro styled piece that manages to look good, celebrate and era, and celebrate art all at the same time. The MB&F HM4 Razzle Dazzle limited edition replica watches will be priced at $216,000 each.
