The SP One began as three circles in a 2018 sketch by MB&F founder Maximilian Büsser, and a year after its debut it returns set with diamonds.

Founder Maximilian Büsser wondered what would happen if a robot’s head were a watch, and product designer Maximilian Maertens spent four years shaping the answer.

Over ten years ago, MB&F and independent Irish watchmaker Stephen McDonnell rethought the perpetual calendar from a blank sheet; now Geneva gem-setters have framed it in colour.

Watchmaker Stephen McDonnell designed a flyback into his Sequential chronograph from the first prototype, then held it back until every element was proven.

At sixteen, Maximilian Maertens visited the Rex cinema in Paris and noticed how the building stood apart; the memory shaped MB&F’s newest Horological Machine.

Collectors had long asked MB&F for an EVO version of its smallest Legacy Machine, and the brand’s 20th anniversary gave it a reason to answer.
