About MB&F Watches

MB&F — short for Maximilian Büsser & Friends — is a horological lab that blurs the lines between timekeeping and contemporary sculpture. Launched in 2005, the brand collaborates with independent artisans and engineers to produce radical, three-dimensional timepieces. Each creation pushes creative and mechanical boundaries, making MB&F a favorite among avant-garde collectors. Our pre-owned MB&F offerings reflect this legacy of innovation and collectibility.

Explore Our Pre-Owned MB&F Collection

MB&F is not just a watchmaker — it's a collective of visionaries, crafting kinetic time sculptures that defy expectation. Our pre-owned MB&F watches include highlights from the acclaimed Legacy Machine collection , known for its classical nods and technical mastery, and the bold Horological Machine series , which embraces futuristic design and boundary-pushing mechanics.

Design, Materials, and Innovation

Each MB&F timepiece is a standalone statement, often crafted in precious metals like titanium or 18K gold, and showcasing domed sapphire crystals, suspended balance wheels, and micro-engineered dials. Whether it's the sculptural finesse of the Legacy Machine Perpetual or the aggressive architecture of the Horological Machine No. 6, these pieces offer variety in case size, finish, and complexity.

Featured Piece: Legacy Machine Split Escapement

One standout in our collection is the Legacy Machine Split Escapement , reference 03.WL.FB — a limited edition that highlights MB&F's dedication to innovation and design purity. This edition features a visually striking "floating" balance wheel, dramatically separated from its escapement mechanism beneath the dial. Crafted in white gold with a frosted finish, this timepiece exemplifies the brand's mechanical ingenuity and artistic direction, offering a refined take on independent horology.

Who This Is For

The pre-owned MB&F collection is crafted for seasoned collectors, design-forward thinkers, and those with a deep appreciation for the intersection of mechanical art and narrative timekeeping. If you're seeking a watch that invites conversation, inspires awe, and tells a story — this collection is for you.

Each piece is created through collaboration with independent watchmakers and artisans, resulting in technically complex, visually striking creations that blend science fiction, design, and engineering.
Yes — MB&F watches, especially limited editions like those in the Legacy Machine and Horological Machine lines, are highly collectible due to their rarity, craftsmanship, and avant-garde design. Many models are produced in very limited numbers, often under 100 pieces.
The Legacy Machine Split Escapement is celebrated for its suspended balance wheel — dramatically separated from the escapement mechanism, which is hidden on the back of the movement. This configuration demonstrates MB&F's technical mastery and aesthetic distinctiveness.
While individual performance may vary, MB&F watches are often sought after in the secondary market, particularly limited editions. Their low production volume and artistic innovation contribute to strong demand among collectors.
While MB&F designs are bold and sculptural, many models — particularly from the Legacy Machine series — are designed with comfort and wearability in mind. That said, these pieces are typically worn as statements and collected for their artistry as much as their utility.
