ART DE VIVRE<br />

M.A.D. Gallery<br />

Mechanical Art Devices<br />

Maximilian Büsser has opened a gallery for<br />

his company MB&F well known for creating<br />

horological machines uniquely different and<br />

highly technological. Born from their creator’s<br />

imagination, they combine pieces made<br />

by independent skilled craftsmen known as<br />

the “Friends” and are assembled by watchmakers<br />

of the company.<br />

The immeasurable M.A.D Gallery, opened in<br />

October 2011 and run by Hervé Estienne,<br />

assembles the MB&F watches, each creation<br />

presented is a veritable mechanical adventure,<br />

an innovative and artistic approach that inspires<br />

an emotional response.<br />

It is a creative platform, a rich artistic environment<br />

that also presents affordable works<br />

of kinetic art like Les Applause Machines by<br />

Martin Smith. Impossible to not fall for the<br />

Machine Lights by Frank Buchwalk that transports<br />

one into an industrial universe where<br />

steel and brass combine to create beauty:<br />

scrubbed then smoothed with acid they<br />

become soft, silky and transform into noble<br />

materials in the hands of the artist.<br />

The M.A.D Gallery is an incomparable and<br />

poetic place for the curious, the dreamers and<br />

the passionate.<br />
