Of all the watches I see in this line of work, there are none that make me smile quite like those from MB&F.

I don't even know exactly what it is about them, but I can't seem to look at one without grinning.

MB&F is short from Maximilian Bouser and Friends, and the brand's founder, Mr. Max Bouser himself,

is somehow even more charming and interesting than the watches he and his collaborators create.

After a childhood of sketching cars and a few years at Swiss engineering school, he serendipitously

ended up working at Giger Laculte before going on to launch the famous Opus program at

Harry Winston, essentially kicking off the modern era of high concept

independent watchmaking altogether.

Now I've known Max for years and he's one of those people who makes you want to lean

in closer when he speaks.

There's an understatement and a humility to him

that you might not expect from his sometimes brash creations.

Ahead of Hodinke 10, I had the chance to sit down with Max

and Hodincky Senior writer James Stacy to talk about how Max ended up in this weird little world of ours and how with a little creativity and passion he's trying to make it just that little bit weirder.

I'm your host Stephen Pulverant and this is Hodincky Radio. And then. Do you do.

Do you.

Do you? Do you?

Do you? And you? Cool, thanks so much for joining us next.
