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.

Born out of Maximilian Büsser’s vision to deconstruct traditional watchmaking into 3-dimensional kinetic art, MB&F is dedicated to designing and crafting small series of radical concept watches by bringing together talented horological professionals who share the same values.

LM Sequential EVO is MB&F’s 20th calibre in just 17 years – and its first-ever chronograph. The LM Sequential EVO movement incorporates two column-wheel chronographs and a groundbreaking “Twinverter” binary switch, allowing multiple timing modes including split-second and lap timer modes – a combination never seen before in any ...

The first editions of the LM Split Escapement were presented in MB&F’s classic Legacy Machine case – but the collection now also features the EVO case, conceived for a more active lifestyle.

The Legacy Machine Perpetual, the award-winning and convention-breaking perpetual calendar conceived for MB&F by Stephen McDonnell, gains a new level of liberation with the Legacy Machine Perpetual EVO. A new case profile that emphasises openness and extreme clarity.

In the MB&F universe, X has a special significance, based on the Roman numeral for 10. It signals a 10th anniversary, like the HM3 FrogX (2020) marking a decade of the totemic HM3, or HMX (2015), which headlined the 10th year of MB&F.

MB&F Machines transform traditional watchmaking into kinetic sculptures for the wrist, ranging from the fiercely unconventional Horological Machines to the more classic Legacy Machines. On special occasions, we invite our Friends to reinterpret our Machines – …

MB&F x Eddy Jaquet 2024 Machine in action. Eddy Jaquet is recognised throughout the rarefied circles of independent watchmaking aficionados as the man whose transformative touch can turn a watch into a rich storytelling tapestry. Those who have followed MB&F for a long time will already be familiar with his work.

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.
