Reasons to Bid

The M.A.D.1 Red by MB&F (under the sub-label M.A.D. Editions) is a striking departure from conventional watchmaking, an accessible yet unmistakably creative timepiece crafted with the signature flair of independent horology guru Maximilian Büsser. Launched in June of 2021, it brings high-concept design to a wider audience while keeping in line with the heritage of MB&F. The watch features a 42 mm stainless steel case and stands out with its vibrant cherry-red accents, replacing the earlier blue colorway. The time is displayed laterally: two rotating cylinders for hours and minutes spin around the case flanks, offering an alternative to traditional hands. The movement is an inverted automatic movement with a triple-blade free-spinning rotor, visible through the dial-side sapphire crystal and enhanced with Super-LumiNova accents. The M.A.D. 1 offers a radical and interesting way of telling time under the brand of legendary Max Busser.
