Specialist note

Created by Max Büsser, the man behind the popular and highly-regarded indie brand MB&F, the M.A.D 1 Friends Edition is the debut piece from Büsser’s new offering M.A.D Edition. The name is a reference to the M.A.D Gallery, set-up by the founder to showcase extra-ordinary objects that can be considered mechanical art.
This timepiece was never made available for sale at retail outlets or at M.A.D galleries. Instead it was only offered to the MB&F “Tribe” – friends, suppliers and partners of the brand. However, after being so popularly received, they released a very small number to the general public who had expressed interest.
This very innovative and certainly distinctive lot is a wonderful opportunity to acquire a watch that very few have.
