Thank you! I think it's two very cool brands and I'm liking what I see. Check back in for the LIVE REVIEW of the Tourbillon piece, starting in less than 24 hours.

You will be able to ask me questions about the Tourbillon piece as I'm actively wearing it and borrowing it.
... while I think it‘s an interesting collaboration, these are not the right timepieces for me. I just don‘t see myself wearing these and I‘m in general not interested in tourbillon timepieces. But I like the idea of live reviews. Maybe next time
These pieces are definitely designed to appeal to a very small niche of watch collectors! Not everyone likes every watch ever made! I certainly don't like every watch on the market!
I can see the tourbillon model will be a little slower selling due to the higher cost, unusual height, greater amount made, and unconventional layout. The last two MB&F items I bought both sold out before I got a chance to buy them. For the item one I worked with the M.A.D. Gallery in Geneva; I saw the item in January, decided I wanted it in February and it was already sold out. I was able to procure one when a buyer dropped out and my name was among the first on the waitlist, so I was very very happy! The item two, I didn't get my top choice in color nor second choice, and I had to fly to Singapore to MB&F's retailer L'Atelier by The Hour Glass to complete the transaction. So I've worked with both the MAD Gallery in Geneva and L'Atelier in Singapore and both are fantastic. MB&F really has a great internal retail program with their galleries and an excellent relationship with their retailers.
