@mbandf @mbflabparis ・・・ Introducing the GorillaSharpener 🦍✏️available @mbflabparis For the @mbfmadgallery’s 15th anniversary, MB&F and @carandache have given an iconic Swiss childhood object a rather unexpected new form. Designed by @maximilianmaertens, the famous Caran d’Ache pencil sharpener now stands on stainless-steel and cast-iron limbs – part sharpener, part mechanical creature, and still fully functional. Perhaps offering one more reason to put down the screen and pick up a pencil again 😉 Finished in Alpine Frost blue and limited to 300 pieces, the GorillaSharpener launches on September 24th, World Gorilla Day. To mark the occasion, MB&F is partnering with @savinggorillas, supporting its work to protect endangered mountain gorillas 🙏🏻 taken in MB&F LAB Paris by @mbflabparis

@mbandf @mbflabparis ・・・ This year marks 15 years of the @mbfmadgallery. What began as an experiment has become an essential part of our universe - from Geneva to Dubai and across our MB&F Labs worldwide - a true meeting point for our community and the artists we admire! To celebrate, we’re unveiling special anniversary editions by the artists who shaped its story. First: @frankbuchwald , one of the earliest believers in the project ❤️ Kicking off the series is his latest Machine Light, the ML15 Helios. Limited to 15 pieces, it’s conceived as a mechanical sun - powerful, calm and precise. A central spherical bulb glows within a halo-like ring, framed by two transparent blue circles that evoke an eye or a measuring instrument. As with all of Frank’s creations, each piece is entirely handcrafted and takes weeks to complete 🦾 Now available at the Mb&f Lab in Paris ☝🏼 taken in MB&F LAB Paris by @mbflabparis

Congratulations to Max Busser and Friends on the new version of the SP1, so I’m posting pics of mine. In light of the recent MAD 3 I can’t help but wonder if this watch isn’t Max’s tip-of-the-hat to Vincent Calabrese’s Golden Bridge. The SP1 is neither a Horological Machine, the genre of watches that made MB&F so famous, nor is it one of the Legacy Machines. That series features more traditional case shapes, but with highly sophisticated reinterpretations of well-known complications.   This Special Projects watch is a simple time-only Two-Hander, though it is so transparent that it would be wrong to call it skeletonized. Based on a very simple sketch that Max Büsser made in 2018, something small and elegant was developed that can only be described as the company’s first real dress watch. Eric Giroud then turned that idea into this marvelous little timepiece.   At 38 mm it is tiny compared to what we usually see from MB&F. The Y-shaped movement architecture divides the key component groups into distinct sectors that are roughly equal size, creating a certain level of symmetry. The watch displays just the hours and minutes on a small sub-dial, while the open barrel design provides a general idea of the state of wind. Fair enough, head on it seems simple, but when viewed from an angle the suspended movement offers a real depth and complexity, resulting in one of the most striking time-only calibers. The pebble-like case with its domed sapphire feels like it has somehow entrapped a small magic generator. The sunrise shots illustrate the way the light pours in from the side and illuminates the interior is what makes this watch so different from other skeletonized or open-worked watches. The blue inner bezel brings out the warmth of the platinum. The strap is a dark blue alligator Nubuck from Jean Rousseau in Paris with a single hole, thus ensuring none of my kids can borrow it, at least not till they grow Shrek-sized wrists like mine. I’m grateful to Laurent at ChronoPassion for getting me this watch so quickly. That team loves cool watches! @mbandf @chronopassion @laurentpicciotto @maxbusser @cat_chronopassion @mbflabparis taken in Chronopassion by @mbflabparis

@chronopassion ・・・ @mbandf @mbandflab ・・・ Introducing the SP One Pavée 💎 A year after introducing the SP One, our unexpected take on an elegant 38mm watch returns in a new interpretation. Crafted in 18K white gold and set with 255 diamonds, the SP One Pavée keeps the original architecture untouched: three key elements – barrel, balance wheel and inclined dial – seemingly floating at the centre of the watch. The diamond setting follows the curves of the case, amphitheatre, crown and buckle, while a new dark blue dial completes the transformation. A more precious SP One, but still very much an SP One 😉 taken in MB&F LAB Paris by @mbflabparis

#Repost @mbandf ・・・ Introducing Nostromo, an alien-like co-creation with our good Friends at @maisonalcee 👽 We’ve loved what Maison Alcée has been doing since the very beginning. Founded by Alcée and Benoît Montfort, their idea is as unusual as it is brilliant: instead of simply buying a beautiful mechanical clock, they give you everything you need to build it yourself. In fact, the MB&F M.A.D.Gallery was the very first boutique to believe in their project. So for our @mbfmadgallery ‘s 15th anniversary, it felt only natural to create something together. The result is Nostromo – a true co-creation between our two worlds, designed by MB&F Creative Designer @maximilianmaertens and crafted by Maison Alcée! Inspired by Max’s love for H.R. Giger and the Alien universe, Nostromo is an alien-like mechanical clock composed of 222 components, which you assemble yourself in around 10 hours, even with no previous watchmaking experience. Once brought to life, it displays hours, minutes and seconds, features an hour chime, offers a 14-day power reserve… and can even rotate on its three organic-looking legs. @mbflabparis Each Nostromo comes with all the necessary tools and a 250-page illustrated instruction book to guide you through the journey. Limited to 50 pieces, available at our M.A.D.Galleries, MB&F LABs, and at the link in our bio ☝🏼 by @mbflabparis

#Repost @ds_watch ・・・ Saw the MB&F exhibition at @chronopassion with @watchesbelike and my good friend @alexa_chronopassion whom I thank for her perfect welcome and her in-depth explanations 🤩🥰❤️‍🔥! These watches are certainly polarizing but are fascinating… They are something at the cross of Haute Horlogerie, architecture and science fiction which is pretty brilliant even if, regarding MB&F, I have a serious soft spot for the LM101 Evo which I find absolutely mesmerizing, combining captivating dials (the blue lagoon one released last year is 🤤🤤🤤), thinness, lightness and sportiness, with a movement made by none less than Voutilainen as a true cherry on the cake 🍒! Among the watches displayed yesterday, I seriously liked the Moon Machine, made in collaboration with Sarpaneva (swipe to see it). The blue hues of the sky for the moonphase were pretty stellar 🛸✨! And what I found brilliant, enhancing all the genius of MB&F is that you can wear it as a destro or as a usual watch as both senses worked ! I also found the work on the HM11 pretty brilliant. The very thin lugs, the clover-shaped wheel on the tourbillon cage, the blued hues of the case and the overall design reminding some of the most futuristic American private mansions was to die for, while the watch remained pretty wearable… Very good discoveries, a very good moment of horology with interesting discussions, as always with Alexa and the Chronopassion crew, and I will come back tomorrow as I noticed something VERY interesting and that EVERYONE forgot about between MB&F and… My favorite brand 😉😉😉😉! #mbandfwatches #exoticwatches #rarewatchesonly #watchcollection⌚️ watchcollector⌚️ by @mbflabparis

Walking through this MB&F exhibition feels like traveling through our own history. Our journey with MB&F began at the very birth of the brand. We had the privilege of selling the very first HM1, the watch that started this extraordinary adventure. None of us could have imagined where that first creation would lead. Every single piece on display once passed through Chronopassion. We introduced them, defended them, explained them... and, one by one, found them a home. Seeing them reunited today is both surreal and deeply emotional. They have become icons, museum pieces and milestones of contemporary watchmaking. Yet we still remember when each new Horological Machine arrived, challenging every convention and redefining what a watch could be. Back then, choosing an MB&F wasn’t the obvious choice. It took vision, curiosity and the courage to be different. The collectors who believed from the very beginning weren’t simply buying watches—they were helping write the history of independent watchmaking. They were the true trendsetters. To Max and the entire MB&F team, thank you for letting us be part of this incredible journey from day one. And to every collector who trusted MB&F and Chronopassion before the world caught on—this exhibition is your story too. Chronopassion and MB&F are delighted to invite you to discover HOROLOGICAL MACHINES TWO DECADES OF KINETIC WRIST SCULPTURES From July 13th to July 29th 10:30am – 6:30pm A unique exhibition bringing together for the very first time all 13 Horological Machines created by MB&F, from HM1 (2007) to the recently unveiled HM12 The Guardian. @mbandf @maxbusser @maximilianmaertens @baptisteuhl @thibault.verdonckt @sergekriknoff @herveestienne MB&F LAB Paris 271, Rue Saint Honoré, 75001 Paris #MBandF #Chronopassion #HorologicalMachine #IndependentWatchmaking #WatchCollector Horology Legacy Trendsetters taken in MB&F LAB Paris by @mbflabparis
