Ep. 184: A Conversation with MB&F's Max Busser

On this week’s Worn & Wound podcast, we’re joined by Max Busser. Max is a longtime veteran of the watch industry, and has spent time at Harry Winston and Jaeger LeCoultre in addition to heading his own brand, MB&F. This year marks ten years of the MB&F Legacy Machine, and Max takes us through the unlikely history of these watches and his brand, and discusses many of the lessons he’s learned working in watches all these years. He also gives us a tantalizing look at the future, including the possibility of an accessible MB&F creation at some point down the road. 

While the watches Max and his team create are no doubt expensive and rare, we think that his attitude toward watches is unpretentious, refreshing, and will resonate with Worn & Wound readers. If you’re not familiar with MB&F, be sure to check out their website right here, and follow them on Instagram to see some truly spectacular horological creativity on display.
