Maximilian Büsser broke the chains and standards to initiate a rebellion called MB&F (Maximilan Büsser & Friends) with independent watchmakers: they are the friends. MB&F turns traditional watchmaking into creative timekeeping Machines.

At MB&F we love to create Machines. MB&F’s Horological and Legacy Machines came first, reinterpreting fine watchmaking into kinetic, 3-dimensional sculptures for the wrist. Co-Creations came next: collaborations with partners, giving birth to table clocks, music boxes and other forms of mechanical art.

MB&F Curated Artists From fine photography to the most complex pieces of mechanical or kinetic art, we welcome incredible artists in our dedicated spaces - offering them a platform to showcase their creations.

We released our first co-designed timepiece in 2021, bringing Bvlgari’s colorful gemstones to MB&F’s Legacy Machines, fusing the best of two different yet complementary DNAs and expertise.

Despite being visually worlds apart from the M.A.D.1, the M.A.D.2 shares the same heartbeat: the La Joux-Perret G101 movement found in the M.A.D.1S, now enhanced with a bespoke jumping hour module developed by MB&F. Swiss-made, Swiss-assembled.

Our Legacy Machines pay tribute to 19th century watchmaking excellence, reinterpreting traditional horological complications while remaining authentic 3-dimensional MB&F Machines. The collection has also given birth to EVO editions, compatible with collectors’ active lifestyles.

In June 2021, MB&F founder Maximilian Büsser presented a timepiece called the M.A.D.1: not an MB&F Machine but a more accessible timepiece developed under a different brand, M.A.D.Editions, linking it to the mechanical art universe that has been created with the M.A.D.Galleries.

The LM101 features a caliber conceived and developed in-house by MB&F, with help from award-winning independent watchmaker Kari Voutilainen for the aesthetics and finish specifications. The 2021 editions feature dark NAC finishing on the bridges.

MB&F Machines Horological Machines Traditional watchmaking of the highest craftsmanship, deconstructed into futuristic, fiercely unconventional Horological Machines: these sculptured, three-dimensional cases have explored themes as diverse as space and science fiction, aviation, supercars, the animal kingdom and architecture.
