MB&F M.A.D. 1 SS Red Dial

The MB&F M.A.D. 1 RED represents a remarkable convergence of innovative horological creativity with accessible exclusivity, standing as an unconventional release from Max Busser and Friends’ M.A.D. Editions. Introduced in 2022 in highly limited numbers, this standout reference features a striking cherry red colorway, marking a distinct departure from its earlier blue predecessor. Housed in a robust 42mm stainless steel case with the crown at 12 o’clock—recalling iconic bullhead chronographs—it is immediately recognizable by its lateral time display and prominent triple-blade rotor in titanium and tungsten, showcased on the dial side. The movement is a modified Miyota automatic caliber, carefully reworked to meet MB&F’s unorthodox vision, with the rotor providing a mesmerizing kinetic sculpture that is pure collector’s delight. The M.A.D. 1 RED’s unique skeletonized presentation and futuristic architecture are accented by vivid red highlights and large Arabic numerals, an aesthetic rarely found at this price point from such a respected independent atelier. It is a true collector’s conversation piece, reflecting MB&F’s artistry but under the accessible M.A.D. Editions brand, and instantly coveted as much for its rarity as for its mechanical spectacle. This model exemplifies boundary-pushing yet practical design, channeling much of the innovation MB&F collectors expect into one of the most buzzworthy boutique watches of recent years.
