Introducing the Groundbreaking MB&F SP One

Founded by the visionary Maximilian Büsser in 2005, MB&F has consistently delivered radical, avant-garde designs that challenge traditional watchmaking norms. After two decades at the forefront of the indie watch scene, the brand is about to embark on an exciting new journey with the launch of the MB&F SP One, marking the first entry in its Special Projects Collection.

A Stellar Legacy and New Beginnings

While MB&F prepares to celebrate its 20th anniversary, it's essential to recognize the impact the brand has made. Büsser, who previously helmed the Harry Winston Opus collection, established MB&F to collaborate with other creative minds. This democratic approach to watchmaking led to the introduction of the Horological Machines series, which featured breathtaking designs reminiscent of the cosmos, architecture, and even supercars.

In 2011, the Legacy Machines emerged, showcasing traditional designs combined with a unique steampunk aesthetic. These timepieces dared to reignite the spirit of pioneering creators like Eiffel and Verne. With each collection, MB&F pushed boundaries, unveiling not just watches, but also innovative clocks and musical machines, and even a more accessible line, M.A.D Editions.

The Genesis of Special Projects

Despite two decades of prolific creativity, numerous ideas birthed by Büsser and his design partner Giroud remained dormant, waiting for their moment to shine. Enter the Special Projects collection, a haven for those unconventional and adventurous concepts. Among them was the SP One, which dares to ask: what if MB&F created an elegant, classic watch?

The All-New MB&F SP One: Elegance Redefined

The MB&F SP One is a remarkable departure from the brand's signature boldness, introducing a 38mm gauge that whispers sophistication rather than shouting for attention. The design, resembling a sleek pebble, is devoid of sharp angles and adopts a subtle charm that defies MB&F's usual audacity.

Crafted from either 18k rose gold or 950 platinum, this watch boasts a remarkably polished finish. Its bezel-free construction amplifies a sense of space and lightness, while the ultra-domed sapphire crystal lends an additional layer of elegance.

The SP One’s unique charm lies in its triptych movement, which cleverly positions its time indications, barrel, and balance wheel, making them appear to float above the watch’s intricate architecture. The design captivates with minimal visible components, instead enhancing its architectural appeal.
