My latest addition, and first foray into independent watchmaking. This one has certainly drawn some attention among my watch idiot friends. I’m sure it is not to everyone’s taste, but we are a broad church!

The MB&F Split Escapement EVO.

Thank you Max and Stephen!

Pretty much the best first independent :)

Great choice!

Looks awesome. I love these, having trouble deciding if I like this or the LM101 more prior to making a follow up decision to commit to the waitlist

I love this watch. Congrats on the purchase! Also that’s a damn good choice as your first independent.

Thanks everyone.
A question for those more steeped in this hobby, is MB&F truly an independent? Even before the Chanel part acquisition, I feel they are more advanced as a company than what I see as a true independent. Thinking of the likes of Ludovic Ballouard and Rexhep Rhexepi here.

I guess there is a spectrum, Max was probably once more like Rexhep, and success and recognition perhaps pushes a company in a direction that appears less independent. If independence means not having to answer to investors and make creative decisions based on financial outcomes, then MB&F would still be that.

Is it an outdated notion for an independent to be more like a small team hunched over a dimly lit bench creating a handful of pieces to an obscure collector base?

Anyway, I am super pleased with this beautiful timepiece, that is so much more that a watch.

And here is what you came for. A pic of my watch and my dog. Enjoy.

A broad church indeed, although here perhaps a little narrower than some other places.

Congrats on a cool watch.
