This is also how I read it.
I received the email today but no indication on price or mechanism for entering the lottery. I was one of the “unlucky” ones to receive the lucky clover edition but interested to see what is unveiled in a few days. It’s nice to see the efforts taken to try to get watches to enthusiasts who have not yet been able to get one.

Side question- does Chanel now own 25% of MAD or just Mb&f… or is it one in the same company on paper?

Rumor is that it will be slim with the minutes disc take away. Not sure how I feel about that tbh

If you look at teaser video that’s exactly what it shows. Just hour hand with hash marks for 15/30/45 mins. S is almost certainly for slim.

Interesting, but I'd rather take the hour disc. Thus, the hours would be visible on the dial, and the minutes on the side, which would perhaps be more logical than a dial with only the minutes visible. In a purple version, this watch could even be fantastic - it could even be worn on weekdays

Instagram for MB&F. They show a video teasing the watch.

It seems that I didn't pay enough attention, even though I saw the picture in the letter :) Or I was just too skeptical that I won't win this time anyway :) Thanks for bringing this to my attention! Even at the end, it will turn out that the watch will not even have a minute hand

i got it!

S stands for Steven's Edition. You'll love the timepiece, and be amazed by the included three straps and bracelet with innovative micro-adjust.

Purple 'dail' of course :)

Given the additional indicators on the hour disc wheel and lack of minutes disc wheel on the tease, probably is the slim. The alternative is the ‘S’ stands for sapphire so a completely opaque version.

Is the absence of a minute disc worth the extra slimness?

Slim, single disc, super looking :) The purple is for the tribe, the blue is for the masses ;)

The raffle page is not working yet, but will be open for about a week. Also, all the former loosers will have a double chance to not to win :D

I like everything about this one except for missing the minute disc. Of course, that’s a contradiction because most of what’s possible in the new one wouldn’t be possible with the minute disc.

Still, looks amazing, will enter the raffle and assume I’ll lose again—even with 2X the entries for being a raffle loser. Maybe the credit card authorization/price will deter some people and help me out, but doubt it.

God that’s a nice watch. I’m always shocked how wearable they seem. It looks great on your wrist.

Love the slender look, and purple always pleases. Love the slimmer crystal too, and the royal purple thread in the strap is awesome! You know EnjoyTheMusic is entered :)

NOTE: The M.A.D.1S, debuting its first-ever Swiss-made movement in the series, now hosts an automatic La Joux-Perret G101 movement (previous M.A.D.1 versions used a modded Japanese Miyota 821A). Beating at a frequency of 28,000 bph/4 Hz with a power reserve of 68 hours, the M.A.D.1S offers something different. It's not just a continuation of the story of its predecessors but a unique and exciting new chapter, ready to be explored.
