MB&F M.A.D.1 Red Lottery
MB&F M.A.D.1 Red Lottery
This just in...
For the past 16 years, MB&F founder Maximilian Büsser has been creating other-worldly timekeeping machines - but Max has also been playing with a side project for a while now: creating a more accessible machine, under another label, but always with the crazy MB&F touch. The result: “M.A.D.1”.
The M.A.D.1's fully visible triple-blade, titanium and tungsten rotor winds one of the rare automatic movements with unidirectional winding (essential for an easy, high-speed rotation), the reliable Miyota 821A, flipped upside-down – a nod to MB&F's HM3 and HM8. Time is displayed laterally thanks to revolving hour and minute cylinders, engraved and boosted with Super-LumiNova.
The M.A.D.1 RED is priced at CHF 2900 excluding tax. Interested in purchasing one? Pieces will be allocated thanks to a lottery open to everyone from March 22nd to April 5th. On April 6th, we will proceed with a random draw, and let you know whether the draw has been favourable to you – in which case we’ll ask you to place your order. Deliveries are planned between September and December 2022.
Lottery tickets and the M.A.D.1 RED are limited to a maximum of one per person. Worldwide shipping is offered free of charge. Local customs duties and other taxes applicable in the country of delivery are borne by the buyer.

Mixed feelings on this lottery…..
Wasn’t it Lexus who several years ago launched a new sports car in limited numbers and had their buyers sign a clause that they wouldn’t flip the vehicle for a certain length of time? They knew the car would immediately have a higher value than the sales ...
Number of pieces?
What if 3000 people sign up for lottery and they decide to make 3000?
Good question!
As data points, in a recent interview with WatchBox, Max shared that MB&F made 275 watches in 2021. They took orders for 400, so that gives you a sense of how demand is outstripping supply. They are now considering closing their order books and not taking...
Interesting numbers
What I think might worry him is the flipping attitude of many so-called friends.
100% Agree
I'd say more, yet the wording describing my feelings towards flippers of Blue would get me banned from WPS. Simply stated, I was both very surprised and upset at those who....
While flipping is part of life…
What makes this so painful is these were carefully curated so-called Friends and Associates of the brand. The exact people you would expect to be most loyal and appreciative. Instead, we get another lesson that everything has a price and too many of these...
Pause....
To be fair FPJ and others are dealing with the same current situation. If you have a truly workable solution for this I'd love to hear it. Ferrari has tried for years, many years. Recently-ish so has Ford and others. Contracts, etc of not selling has limi...
Well, if they are legitimately trading for $20K in the secondary
You could price them at $20K. It’s not a perfect solution, but at least the money goes to the manufacturer and not the flipper. And that applies to all brands, you always have the option of pricing at Fair Market Value.
(Deeeeeep Sigh) It was never like this.
Ethics of fair pricing a mechanical timepiece Versus 'Market pricing' in a known overblown BRIEF market 'hiccup' Now, and this could just be me, there are certain mechanical timepieces that are being priced 'at market' when you know the real cost is far, ...
But that's just a small fraction, fortunately
I wish I could win the lottery 😎😎😎😄 Max is absolutely an amazing CEO, the whole sector would need more like him
Not sure the number
What if it is 200, or 20,000,000? Am not really a fan of hypotheticals. (Rhetorical) What if the Earth moves a mere 0.2% closer to the Sun? Will SPF 50 be enough?
Without a doubt the true passionate....
...would never flip. Besides being an amazing timepiece imho, it was a bit of an honor to be offered the blue. No blue here so my feelings resonate with yours. Broadly-speaking, it's just cRaZy now. So much newly-released currency from many central banks ...
Another in the sea of limited
Not sure the purpose to drive hype when that already exists here. Me, I'll watch from the sidelines. To me an independent doing the hype train is the same as PP with nauitlus. It looks like a hockey puck on a strap. Novel idea however. -kevin
I do like it a lot , I don’t own a MBandF(yet) so I couldn’t get the blue MAD1
When I visited them at last GWDs i told them that I really hope they would make a ,public, version so i could at least get a chance to own one . Well here it is and i am happy to get that opportunity now 🙏🏻
