Meet
the Friends
Who are the people behind the brand?
When MB&F − Maximilian Büsser & Friends − was created, recognising the individuals involved in each project was not just a key element, it was essential and completely integral to everything the brand does.
The Friends
What’s the purpose of an adventure, if you can’t share it with friends ?
The Swiss watch industry has an understandable, but totally unfair, culture of brands externally sourcing expertise while claiming to have produced everything ‘in-house’.
MB&F is probably the only high-end watch brand, if not the only luxury brand, which is so openly transparent regarding their partners and collaborators. Each horological adventure is a close collaboration with a team of highly talented professionals − Friends − with the specific skills needed for each project. The Friends’ skills include product design, case and movement manufacture, finishing, logistics, photography and communication, to name but a few.
