MB&F M.A.D.1 “Vivid Green”
Raffle Special Limited Edition Reference: M.A.D.1 Green | Automatic | Swiss Made
The Dial: A Kinetic Sculpture
The centerpiece of the M.A.D.1 is the inverted movement architecture, placing the winding mechanism on the dial side. This “Vivid Green” edition serves as a vibrant evolution of the series, turning every movement of the wrist into a mechanical performance.
-
Triple-Blade Rotor: Crafted from titanium and tungsten, the signature “battle-axe” rotor spins high-speed on the dial side for maximum visual impact.
-
Luminous Depth: Super-LumiNova is applied beneath the rotor and on the lateral time-display rings, creating a glowing green halo in low light.
-
Lateral Time Display: Hours and minutes are read via two rotating aluminum cylinders on the side of the case, allowing for a sleek, “driver’s watch” perspective.

Collector’s Perspective
The M.A.D.1 Green is the ultimate “thank you” from Maximilian Büsser to the watch community.

It is a rare opportunity to own a piece of mechanical art that prioritizes fun, community, and disruptive aesthetics over traditional convention.
