WHY BE PART OF THE MB&F ADVENTURE?
MB&F carries the torch for the avant-garde aspect of Haute Horlogerie. Aside from the incredible esthetic appeal of the watches, I just can’t help but be drawn to someone that endures that level of self-inflicted hell. Not just working off the edge of the map, but going out of their way to STAY off the edge of the map. You have to respect someone who chooses the path of maximum resistance.
