Affectionately nicknamed Bulldog, MB&F's Horological Machine No. 10 truly became man's best friend in the pandemic era. The complex watch features carefully crafted elements that recall the body of the beloved bulldog, including moveable lugs as legs, a stout body (case), a big head (high domed sapphire crystal) and two gazing eyes (aluminium cones that indicate the hours and minutes). It also features the dog's jaws - sometimes with some big teeth bared - that is the power reserve indicator. The mouth is open when fully wound and closed as the power winds down. The belly of the dog is engraved with the words 'Forget the dog, beware of the owner.' The watch also is equipped with 45 hours of power reserve, and incredible mechanics with a suspended balance wheel and more.

The one rule that Maximilian Büsser & Friends follow is to rebel. Rooted in the laboratory-based artistic concept of collaboration, the brand gathers watchmaking professionals to cultivate timepieces that are rare and radical. Cooperation is the key element to achieving the best clockwor. The brand's 'Friends' include varying talents of product designers, photographers, manufacturers and more.While tradition underpins the brand's values, it is reinterpreted to suit the contemporary consumer, materializing time into three-dimensional kinetic sculptures that speak of and establish legacy.From MB&F's collaboration with Bulgari that birthed a bedazzling, diamond-imbedded dome timepiece, to the baffling bulldog structure of its Horological Machine No'10, the multi-dimensionality of timepieces created by Maximilian Büsser & Friends are astonishingly animate, telling not only the story of time, but also of geometry, history and art.
