MB&F
MB&F’s philosophy is simple - the reinterpretation of traditional, high-quality craftsmanship into three-dimensional kinetic sculptures. Collaborations between MB&F and independent watchmakers exhibit truly authentic examples of ingenuity. The company’s relationship with many of haute-horology’s finest independent movement makers, coupled with careful choosing of its suppliers has led to the development of visionary modern timepieces, celebrated equally for their exceptional design and mechanical brilliance.
