Creating The Horological Machine: An Interview With MB&F Founder Max B��sser Part 2
Contributed by David BredanRead part 1 of the interview here.MB&F has been playing a major role on the stage of high-end watch making for several years now. However, just like with every blockbuster's premier, the public's keen attention?is there, but the limelight only shows the final production; and who wouldn't ever wonder just what's going on behind the scenes? In the first segment of this three-part interview, Maximilan B��sser told us about exactly that!
