MB&F

Futuristic yet nostalgic, technical but playful – MB&F is a celebration of the avant-garde and a testament to the triumphs of uninhibited creativity. An artistic concept laboratory, MB&F’s creations venture far beyond the realms of traditional watchmaking, resulting in extraordinarily complex machines, which also happen to tell the time.

Founded by Maximillian Büsser, an industry veteran armed with years of experience at Jaeger-LeCoultre and Harry Winston, MB&F was always meant to encourage independent watchmaking professionals to develop radical watches. The road less traveled should not have journeyed alone, and the Maison has indeed amassed an extensive list of “Friends”: talented artists, watchmakers, designers, and manufacturers whose collaborative efforts shine through each of the final products.

Büsser’s favorite quote – “A creative adult is a child who survived” – certainly manifests in his “machines.”

While the Horological Machines are reminiscent of science fiction films and animated television shows from the 1960s-80s, the Legacy Machines draw their inspiration from 19th-century watchmaking and classical (by MB&F standards!) silhouettes. MB&F’s creations aren’t limited to the wrist: the brand also produces clocks, spaceships, and toy robots – all of which seem to have been plucked straight out of a child’s whimsical daydream -- then cranked up a thousand notches. The details on these three-dimensional kinetic sculptures are exquisite down to the minutiae, with some of the complex movements featuring over 600 hand-assembled components.
