M.A.D. Editions M.A.D.1 Time to Love
Maximilian Büsser founded MB&F in 2005 to build horological machines at prices that put them permanently out of reach of almost everyone who admired them. M.A.D. Editions was his answer to that — launched in 2021, allocated by lottery rather than by waiting list, and priced so that the people who had followed the brand for fifteen years could finally own something from it.
The M.A.D.1 inverts the normal arrangement of a watch. The movement's winding rotor, shaped like a battle-axe, faces the wearer through the top of the case, while the time is read laterally from rotating cylinders at the edge of the 42mm steel case. It is legible once you know where to look and deliberately obtuse until then.
The base movement is a Miyota 821A, selected for robustness rather than prestige, carrying MB&F's own winding rotor and display architecture. Water resistance is 3 ATM.
The Time to Love edition was limited to 999 pieces and is fitted with a leather strap carrying embroidered lettering, which is the detail that distinguishes it from the standard releases.
This example is unworn and offered as a full set, and, like every watch Uptown Exchange lists, has been authenticated and inspected before being offered for sale.

Shipping & Returns
Every watch listed by Uptown Exchange is independently authenticated and inspected before it goes up for sale, and ships fully insured with signature confirmation required on delivery. We ship via major carriers in discreet, unbranded packaging, and you'll receive tracking information as soon as your order leaves our hands.
Each piece is backed by a 7-day return window from the date of delivery. If a watch isn't right for you, contact our team within 7 days to arrange a return; the item must come back in the same condition it was sent, with all original packaging, box, and papers included if it shipped with them. Return shipping is insured the same way outbound shipping is.
Because every listing is a single, individually inspected piece, we recommend reaching out with any questions on fit, condition, or authenticity before you buy — we're glad to send additional photos or answer specifics on a piece before you commit.
