MB&F is not a watch brand. It is an artistic concept laboratory in which micro-engineering and watchmaking craftsmanship are used to design and craft radical Horological Machines. Founded by Maximilian Büsser in 2005, MB&F is an artistic platform where he collaborates with talented watchmakers, designers, and artisans he calls “friends” to create mind-blowing pieces of horological art.
Their creations, known as Horological Machines and Legacy Machines, are unconventional and audacious, often resembling spaceships, robots, or animals. They are not just timepieces but miniature kinetic sculptures that push the boundaries of traditional watchmaking.
Here are some key aspects of MB&F:
Radical Design: Their watches are known for their avant-garde, futuristic designs that often draw inspiration from science fiction, fantasy, and childhood memories.
Technical Prowess: MB&F partners with the best independent watchmakers and ateliers to develop groundbreaking movements and complications.
Limited Production: Each MB&F creation is produced in extremely limited quantities, making them highly collectible and coveted by watch enthusiasts.
Collaboration: Collaboration is at the heart of MB&F. They work with a network of independent artisans, watchmakers, and designers, each bringing their unique expertise to the table.
If you’re looking for a traditional watch, MB&F is not for you. But if you appreciate unconventional, artistic timepieces that are as much about pushing boundaries as they are about telling time, then MB&F is definitely worth exploring.
