A spinning WE!

I drove to Geneva to pick up my Mad 1 from the MB&F gallery!


I’m extremely happy with the watch, it’s a 100% Max Busser creation in spirit for a fraction of the MB&F usual price. 

The idea of a “cheaper 2nd brand” is similar to what Kurono (Hajime Asaoka) or SUF (Stefan Sarpaneva) are doing but there is a lot more going in the Mad1. It’s a real “concept watch”, not just a color / hand variation on a simple design.

The case is like not other: it’s a sapphire dome supported by what I find a bit “arachnoïde” base. The rotor and hour / minutes rings are coated in Luminova.

The strap and deployant are of very nice quality - everything feels like it belongs to a much higher range.

I feel very lucky to own this special creation. The allocation was great: no wait list, no purchase history, you just needed to show a genuine interest for the brand! (I just sent an e-mail congratulating the team for the blue mad1 before they announced the red)

Cheers 

Seb

And what a nice drive it was! This watch was also designed to be a driver's watch! So the driver would read it while still holding onto the steering wheel!
