MB&F Thunderbolt Watch


MB&F Thunderbolt Watch

Maximilian Büsser could be considered the Steve Jobs of horology.  That intends no disrespect to the latter man’s passing, and we feel Jobs would be well-honored by the comparison.  Büsser and friends have worked to revolutionize the world of luxury watch craft by exploring out-of-this world designs and precision execution.  The MB&F Thunderbolt Watch is one of their greatest, a marvelous complication inspired by its namesake’s childhood interest in model airplane construction.  A pair of twin conical cylinders recalls the double-engine designs of mid-century aircraft, one of which displays time and the other shows the watch’s power reserve.  It is a watch like this that reflects MB&F’s willingness to fracture the rules, to try something different and do so in unparalleled form.
