Really fun
I'm a big fan, I like watches that are made in conjunction with artists. No one is seriously wearing a MAD 1s as anything other than a fun conversation starter, this is everyone's seventeenth watch in the drawer. May as well go all the way. I'm getting one!
New M.A.D. 1 S Grow Your Dreams Timepiece
Rock your monochromatic world with the colorful and new M.A.D. 1-S Grow Your Dreams Timepiece, made in collaboration with British-Nigerian artist, Mr. Yinka Ilori! Each piece comes with an all white strap and an extra colorful bi-colored strap combination...
I love colors but this is way too much
And it looks somehow cheap to me - very happy that I was successful with the ice blue MAD 1s one year ago...
Definitely not for everyone!
In some ways, anything with a rubber strap looks "cheap" from some angles. Even a really expensive high quality watch with a rubber strap looks cheapened sometimes; depending on the person. A Patek Philippe Aquanaut is obviously a very high quality watch,...
If i had kids, you know they'd get them for holiday gifts.
Very youthful, playful, wrist fun 😎
Not too late! For kids that is!
Sherman, your robot, doesn't count. Even though he can wear a watch!
True to the brand.
MB&F has always made playful and slightly impractical watches. Sometimes very impractical watches. The first four watches; HM1, 2, 3, and 4 were all super-strange and super-niche watches. The design would only appeal to one out of a 1000 people. Then, con...
So much courage!
So many trials and tribulations in the first 10 years could kill a man or at least make very good men give up. Max did so much in those ten years. And had so many incredible problems that were outside of his control. It was a good thing that he was a humb...
I admire his perseverance.
He tested the boundary, going for something different and non-traditional. The HMs are so special. The LMs are cool too. But these M.A.D. cheapens the brand I think...
I feel the two brands are separated reasonably well.
Kind of like Hermes vs Petite H. Vacheron Constantin has some watches with basic movements, which are completely not up to the standard of Vacheron Constantin - to me there's real confusion there. That's much more offensive than what's going on here with ...
Fair enough...
However I feel MB&F isn't as big or as successful yet... and these M.A.D. editions are like less than 1/20 (5%?) of the cheapest offerings within their main collections.
Pretty successful if you ask me...
Looking at some of the designs - especially the Jellyfish - I mean, who on Earth would think a brand like this could reach commercial success. But hey, they made it while staying true to themselves! Yes, your ratio of 1/20th is likely very accurate. Their...

Hey! You got the idea!
Totally agreed. This is a fun weekend watch for the times where your mood is more "colorful." It's not a piece of "haute horlogerie" in the traditional sense.
This will be the first time I won't participate.
Admittedly, I've never won before, so I probably would have won now that no model appeals. But I'll give those who are interested a bigger chance instead. 😂
It is definitely very colorful.
They have launched many different versions. BUT! Realize that each version, the edition is fairly small. Only a couple thousand pieces here and there of each version!
I entered this drawing.
It’s my fourth or fifth time trying. While this isn’t my favorite iteration, this is an important collab. Good luck to everyone who entered.
YAY! Congrats!!!!!
I would love to see unboxing photos of your new watch on WPS. If you happen to decide to share with us! I bet the packaging is a lot of fun as well!
