Dear Friends,

The birth of a fully new calibre in the world of horology is always a significant event and I would like to share with you a few images of the incredible Engine powering the forthcoming Horological Machine N°4, aka "Thunderbolt".

The Engine of HM4 required three years of development and comprises 309 components, all specifically made for this amazing motor. Laurent Besse and Beranger Reynard, from Les Artisans Horlogers in Le Locle (Switzerland), have done a superb job in accurately bringing to life the 3D Machine we imagined at the beginning of this concept.

HM4 Thunderbolt will be fully unveiled beginning of July. Until then I ask for your patience and invite you to admire this impressive Engine.

These three images are available in high-resolution on our specific download center.

2010, our most creative year to date continues to unveil… please stay tuned,

With our very best regards,

Maximilian Büsser
Owner & Chief Creative Officer
