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 />
