MB&F M.A.D1S Edition Project Blue Slim
Well, the M.A.D.1S seems to have hit the gym and shed a bit of bulk, because the new release from Max Büsser is now 42mm by 15mm thick, 20 percent thinner than its predecessors. For the first time, the watch is powered by a Swiss-made movement, a modified La Joux-Perret G101 (instead of the previous Japanese Miyota 821A). Further cutting down the thickness is a simplified single-barrel display that shows the time at that side angle on the rotating hour disc only. The lugs have also been slimmed down and don't look nearly as dominating from the top or side.

MB&F
Swiss watch industry veteran, businessman, and entrepreneur Maximilian Büsser founded his eponymous brand MB&F (“Maximilian Büsser & Friends”) in 2005 following accomplished stints at Harry Winston and Jaeger-LeCoultre. A horological laboratory of sorts, MB&F is unlike traditional watchmaking enterprises, bringing together innovators from across the industry to collaborate on “Horological Machines” and “Legacy Machines” — timekeeping devices and wristwatches that push the creative and engineering envelopes in completely new directions.
A relatively small and nimble company, MB&F crafts kinetic sculptures in partnership with some of the most learned minds in watchmaking, including Stephen McDonnell, Kari Voutilainen, L’Epée, and others, the results of which are breathtaking. Certain of these works are displayed in the company’s “M.A.D. Galleries” (“mechanical art devices”) around the world, allowing buyers, potential customers, and others to view the firm’s groundbreaking horological art in a nontraditional setting.
MB&F and its creations have been awarded by the Grand Prix de l’Horlogerie de Genève — the “Oscars” of the watch world — in recognition of the firm’s creativity, spirit, and watchmaking accomplishment. Truly, there are few companies operating today whose wares can be considered as thought-provoking and innovative as those of Maximilian Büsser & Friends.
