Horology Reimagined
Welcome to the world of MB&F, a visionary collective where traditional watchmaking is not just evolved, but deliberately transcended and pushed into the realm of futuristic, boldly unconventional timekeeping machines. Each creation, aptly designated a 'Machine', is conceptualized and realized as a true masterpiece of sculpted, three-dimensional design, requiring unparalleled mechanical ingenuity to house the intricate movements within their complex volumetric forms. These Machines exist as far more than mere timepieces; they are intrinsically inhabitable artworks that skillfully transport us, the wearer, through compelling narratives and detailed worlds spanning disparate historical eras, fantastical places, and often, entirely alternate realities. The complexity of their geometry requires us to design the mechanism and the casing as a single, indivisible entity.
Inhabiting the Narrative
With MB&F, we fundamentally redefine the very concept of wearing a watch; the resulting Machines are not accessories, but highly immersive, visceral experiences designed to be lived and explored. They achieve this by strategically intertwining the traditional elegance and minute precision of high-end watchmaking with the sophisticated storytelling architecture of science fiction and the architectural finesse of visionary industrial design. This distinctive philosophy results in creations that consciously blur the line between the functional object and the narrative device, challenging the wearer to engage with the concept of measured time not just analytically, but on a profound sensory and imaginative level that lasts far beyond a mere glance at the wrist.
Forging Future Realities
My collaboration as a creative director, a groundbreaking endeavor dynamically spearheaded by founder Maximilian Busser and the acclaimed film director Onur Senturk, perfectly exemplifies this profound fusion of disciplines and conceptual ambition. This innovative partnership necessitated a significant technical and imaginative leap to intentionally blur the historical boundaries between fine horology, sophisticated sci-fi imagination, and architectural innovation. By deliberately pushing the limits of both the technical execution and the philosophical scope of mechanical systems, the resulting timepieces establish a bold new benchmark for what sculptural mechanical creations can represent in our collective imagination and the very future of high-concept design, setting a new standard for narrative-driven horology.
