Managed to source the perfectly fitting strap for the MAD1Green but still need to find a matching sweater somewhere. I know I have it but it’s in one of the hundreds of boxes yet to be unpacked…

A lot more comfortable and easier to wear than on the OEM strap, too smile

Watch by AHCI and independent haute horlogerie, Max Busser and Friends, M.A.D, Mad 1

About the M.A.D. Editions Time to Love Ref. MAD1

The MAD1 represents M.A.D. Editions' collaboration with fashion designer Jean-Charles de Castelbajac, positioned within the M.A.D. 1 Time to Love series. This limited edition model carries the distinctive black dial configuration that defines this particular reference within the brand's contemporary lineup.

The 42mm steel case houses an automatic movement and features a smooth bezel configuration. The black dial is protected by sapphire crystal, while water resistance extends to 30 meters. The timepiece is completed with a black leather strap that complements the dial's dark aesthetic.

Produced from 2020 to present, the MAD1 appeals to collectors interested in contemporary independent watchmaking with fashion industry connections. The limited production status and collaborative nature position this reference for those seeking modern alternatives to traditional luxury timepieces, particularly collectors drawn to crossover pieces that bridge watchmaking and fashion design disciplines.

Got to know him via IG. The straps are really nice and have a decent price performance ratio

A playful one πŸ˜ŠπŸ‘πŸ»

The new thinner ones are probably easier to wear. Although changing the straps helped a lot already.
