There’s no one quite like Max Büsser in the watch world. Each of his creations is so innovative, unique, and cutting edge, but also all clearly from the same mind, challenging conventions of watchmaking.
Büsser got his start in watches, working with Jaeger-LeCoultre during the rebirth of traditional watchmaking in the 1990s. From there, he joined Harry Winston and launched its Opus series, collaborating with independent watchmakers like FP Journe.
Then, in 2005, he started his own brand, Max Busser and Friends. His Horological and Legacy Machines are like no other watches: pieces of kinetic art.
On today’s episode, Max joined Ben and me to talk about his entire career, including his nearly 20 years at MB&F. We also talk about the current state of innovation and creativity in the watch industry. We also discuss Chanel’s recent investment in MB&F and what’s next for him and MB&F. Without further ado, enjoy this conversation with Max and Ben.
