As we continue our journey across the fascinating and diverse landscape of independent watchmaking, we are joined for this edition of In The Metal by Maximilian Büsser of MB&F for a retrospective tribute to this most pioneering of watch companies.

A truly dynamic ball of energy and charisma, whose personal philosophical mantra reminds us that 'a creative adult is a child who survived', Max is a cool-headed visionary who has never permitted the perceived limitations of conventional design or technical possibilities to stand in the way of his extraordinary MB&F horologic creations; time machines which have become defining icons of contemporary independent watchmaking.

The coolest gang in Watchville, MB&F has evolved as a collective of watchmaking's finest innovators and problem solvers, who have thrived in an environment of unfiltered creativity, and worked with an uncompromising eye for aesthetic detail within a uniquely structured design and manufacturing concept which exists to defy convention

Enjoy this look back at the MB&F story  so far, as Johnny and Dan welcome the mastermind who has been one of the key figures in elevating the world of independent watchmaking to a mainstream audience.

If you're not yet familiar, In The Metal is the inside scoop on the very best of independent watchmaking, and is brought to you each week by @irishwatchguy Johnny McElherron of The Watch Press, and the legend who is the former lead guitarist with thrash metal icons Anthrax, and now present day Master of Complications and the vanguard for US independent watchmaking, Mr Dan Spitz.

Each week we take an informal, behind the scenes look at the fascinating world of independent watchmaking, and take you on a journey beyond the façade and into the lesser-seen and secretive corners of the watchmaker's atelier, where we are joined live and direct by the very finest artisans and masters of this centuries-old art form, where a true and traditional heart continues to beat.
