MB&F: M.A.D.Editions x Jean-Charles de Castelbajac

 
 By: patrick_y : April 3rd, 2024-21:36
The amazing team at MB&F have done it again! This time, it's limited to 999 pieces! It's also the first time MB&F has allowed an external creator to come into the foray. Legendary French designer, Jean-Charles de Castelbajac (pictured above to the lef...  

Fresh indeed. At least to my simple eye, I prefer a bit more subdued approach.

I applaud their creativity nonetheless. ...  

You have them all.

Love it, and great to see added style for the strap design / details. (✿◕‿◕✿)

Put in for my ticket, tho if a Tribe member does not want theirs i'd love the opportunity.

Alain silberstein vibes

This overall watch doesn't speak to me in any iteration. That said I appreciate people trying to do different than standard display

It does have Silberstein vibes!

 
 By: patrick_y : April 3rd, 2024-23:35
I wouldn't be surprised if a Silberstein edition eventually comes... As MB&F definitely has had Silverstein editions. Although, they may be reserving the Silberstein collaboration for the MB&F products and not for the M.A.D. products. Who knows.

Quote comes from The Hunger Games!

It's not for everyone!

They certainly didn't make it easy. But they did make it fun and bizarre.

Beaucoup de fun!

Seems like my opinion is not popular, and as much as I love the M.A.D. Editions idea,

 
 By: MilDiver : April 4th, 2024-05:07
The idea is fast losing the sex appeal. This is the 6th version of the M.A.D. editions, and are we going to see 7th, 8th etc? The watch is fun, as long as it remains a niche within a niche, But once a company starts poring them, it turns into a commodity,... 

Totally agree with your point. I hope this is their last version of the MAD1 otherwise its loosing its appeal.

 
 By: Watchonthewrists : April 4th, 2024-06:42
I hear there will be other models in the future (MAD2 , 3 )

These M.A.D. editions never appealed to me honestly.

 
 By: fmc000 : April 4th, 2024-07:30
But i see your point, it's just becoming a cash grabber.

By certain standards, nearly everything can be considered "a cash grabber."

 
 By: patrick_y : April 4th, 2024-16:53
These watches are definitely strange, weird, bizarre, watches. Definitely not designed to appeal to everyone!

Think revenue...

 
 By: patrick_y : April 4th, 2024-16:49
Think of all the revenue these things generate... This project of 999 watches will generate around 3 million Swiss Francs in revenue, not a groundbreaking amount. Then think about how many people in the world (around 999 people) will be happy that they ha... 

It's MAD

It's the entry level line to the MB&F world, though we have completely different watches with (obviously) different mechanics and finishing, as well prices. The first raffle had 19000 players, I think thi might be the last iteration before the MAD 2. Yep,... 

Max Busser is an admirable person.

One of the nicest fellas in the watch business.

Even though I am very...

 
 By: Ronald Held : April 4th, 2024-14:19
Unlikely to get one, I think it is not for me.

It's definitely not for everyone!

 
 By: patrick_y : April 4th, 2024-16:50
You have to be an extremely colorful and whimsical person!

Quite cool iteration!

 
 By: 1WatchMan : April 4th, 2024-15:47
I think it matches very well the spirit of the watch. The case is still too tall for me (at least as it looks on pictures).

It's definitely a thick watch!

 
 By: patrick_y : April 4th, 2024-16:51
It's definitely a huge watch. More of a statement piece than daily wearer.

I have entered the raffle.😁
