Revisiting MB&F's Music Machine 3 That Launched Ten Years Ago In 2015
Today, collaborations are all over the place - completely commonplace. But, over a decade ago, such collaborations weren't frequent occurrences. Ten years ago, back in 2015; MB&F, JMC Lutherie, and Reuge made 99 of these spaceship music boxes. A total of ...
Amazing to see your first version.
I listened to the current models at the MB&F salon in Geneva last year - spectacular workmanship and sound!
They are nice aren't they?
There's also a Reuge store in Geneva not far from the M.A.D. Gallery. It's usually worth a visit!
I love hand cranking music machines
and these MB&F automated machines are truly great creations. As always, though, the futuristic design doesn’t speak to me. I much prefer a more traditional design like this one, seen in Le Locle watchmaking Museum. Yosuke Sekiguchi, who I visited just bef...
I generally like more classic and traditional pieces too.
But, I am a Star Wars fan. And what can I say... When this came out... I just couldn't keep my eyes off of it!
I certainly understand the appeal for any Star Wars fan!
I was eight years old when The Empire Strikes Back came out and I remember it vividly, as well as The Return of the Jedi, three years later. But I never got into the Prequel or Sequel trilogies. I completely lost interest. The old-school guy in me took ov...
So great when they take a real bold choice
and you can definitely see the inspiration. Really love the 3
I really like the 3 and I really appreciate the brand for taking on the project.
I realize the project is not the easiest and is not a big money maker for MB&F. With only 99 pieces too, a lot of fixed costs prevent anyone from making a large margin. But I really appreciate that they did it! Despite the headwinds!
Certain brands have a certain power and influence...
Considering luxury watches today are a 50 Billion CHF per annum business, 10% would be a healthier number than I would've projected. But what you say is possible! Imagine. If Rolex wanted to make "product X," they have the power to influence millions of p...
An Electric Cadillac Escalade Inspired by Rolex you say? Yes Please 😋😁
The Richard Mille Towers at Burj Khalifa 😁, this is Fun! Girard Perregaux Golfing Clubs 🤣
Hmm... I have heard of an Augusta helicopter with an Hermes interior!
I like this Electric Cadillac Escalade with Rolex inspiration idea!
Those are so Freaking ( not the word I thinking of ) Awesome!
I absolutely love the choice of tunes! How special for someone, who owns one! Thanks Patrick!
Awesome indeed!
I like the choice of the tunes as well. They're all from the 60s and 70s, supposedly they were chosen by Max Busser himself - who had a penchant for TV Show and Movie music from his childhood. I suppose there were also licensing requirements involved (the...
I would say so.
And I like how the priority is to create something amazing, something fun, and something true to the MB&F brand.
