Reasons to Bid
The M.A.D. 1S ‘Tribe’ Edition Purple by MB&F presents a vivid expression of mechanical imagination within a limited series produced under the manufactures Associés design label, the more accessible yet character-driven branch of Maximilian Büsser’s creative universe. Released as part of a small-batch production, it provides collectors with a distinctive entry point into MB&F’s avant-garde philosophy while maintaining solid mechanical fundamentals. The polished 42 mm stainless-steel case is paired with deep purple accents, creating a strong visual contrast with the stainless steel surfaces. Time is displayed laterally through a rotating cylinder, while the face of the watch reveals a modified Miyota movement fitted with a free-spinning triple-blade winding rotor. Unlike the far more complex MB&F Horological/Legacy Machines, the M.A.D. 1S centers on creative design and playfulness, offering a wider audience the opportunity to experience the brand’s independent watchmaking approach.
