MB&F

Maximilian Büsser founded Max Büsser and Friends (MB&F) in 2005, basing his independent on the lines of the model he championed while managing director of Harry Winston Rare Timepieces. By collaborating with some of the finest talent in watchmaking – including Kari Voutilainen, Jean-François Mojon and Stephen McDonnell among others – his brand has created some of the most innovative watches and horologic objects, all produced in very finite numbers. This experimental approach is underpinned by traditional finishing, the combination standing the brand apart in the context of fine, modern watchmaking.

In the two decades since MB&F was established, the impressive roster of watchmakers the brand has collaborated with has yielded a catalogue that is as diverse as it is interesting. With inspiration coming equally from automotive design, space exploration and the retro-futuristic comics Büsser enjoyed in his youth, MB&F has steadily evaded prevailing convention and the aesthetic of the day as well as the pitfall of repetition.

The limited numbers in which MB&F creates iterations of its signature pieces – with combinations rarely repeated ever again – underlines the specialness of each release. This, together the high degree of hand-finishing, speaks to a level of rarity key to interest in independent watchmaking.

We are proud to be pre-owned approved retailer for MB&F. As we hold a deep appreciation for their work. Our shared vision of excellence and artistic focus have led us to work together to bring their pieces to collectors who share the same values.

We have long admired Büsser’s singular vision and the conviction with which he has stayed true to it. This is as evident in the Horological Machines line as it is in the Legacy Machines and the small number of pieces that his brand has created by collaborating with like-minded contemporaries such as H. Moser & Cie. or avant-garde artists of Xia Hang’s ilk.
