MB&F
Geneva, Switzerland
MB&F (Maximilian Büsser & Friends) was founded in 2005 by Geneva-based entrepreneur Maximilian Büsser. The company brings together watchmakers, designers, and engineers to create visionary timepieces. The aim is to rethink traditional watchmaking and translate it into sculptural, almost futuristic forms. The Horological Machines (HM) apply technical and aesthetic principles from automotive design to watchmaking. Examples include the HM5, which is inspired by classic sports cars, and the HM8 Can-Am, which pays tribute to 1960s motorsport. The portfolio is complemented by the Legacy Machine (LM) collection, which reinterprets historical watchmaking through contemporary three-dimensional designs. Thus, MB&F represents an experimental form of haute horlogerie, where engineering, creativity, and mechanics converge.
