Horology01's inquiry into the M.A.D.1's color options, purple or blue, sparks a vibrant discussion among collectors. This article delves into the community's firsthand experiences and insights regarding the M.A.D.1 'S' version, offering valuable perspectives on wearability, exclusivity, and aesthetic choices for potential owners. Horology01's post serves as an excellent starting point for understanding the nuances of acquiring this distinctive timepiece.
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.
Should hopefully be able to give an opinion soon ….
It’s a rarer and more out there color which seems appropriate for the MAD 1. Also, my LM is that shade of ice blue already. But you can’t go wrong with either! I think the blue gives you more fun strap combos. Patiently waiting for mine now 😁
How soon after you got your Tribe code email did you order? I think I was about an hour after, and haven’t gotten a shipping confirmation yet, so just curious where I might be in line 😄
Works also better imo
While I am a huge blue fan…I would grab purple if you can, unique, such a cool color…but, you cannot go wrong with either.
In person the color has got looks imo
