Footnote
Offered in as new, unworn condition. This model, created by Maximillian Busser, was the debut M.A.D 1 edition, named after his retail stores. Released as ‘The Tribe’ edition, it was only made available to existing collectors, or friends of the brand, and never made available publicly when released. MB&F (Maximilian Busser & Friends) was founded in 2005 with the aim of disrupting the traditional watch industry by bringing greater creativity, often with unconventional designs. The company ethos remains designing and crafting small series of radical concept watches by bringing talented watchmakers together. The M.A.D series is named after the retail gallery that specialise in Mechanical Art Devices.
