Hands-On The M.A.D.Editions M.A.D.3 Vincent Calabrese
The M.A.D.Editions brand has released its third watch, the M.A.D.3, which pays tribute to legendary watchmaker Vincent Calabrese. The design draws inspiration from Calabrese's Baladin watch and maintains the brand's accessible price point of CHF 2,900.
Why it matters
This release highlights the intersection of high-end independent watchmaking philosophy and accessible luxury, continuing the collaborative legacy of MB&F.
The third entry in the MB&F spinoff pays tribute to a legendary watchmaker.
Today marks the introduction of the M.A.D.3, the third entry in the MB&F spinoff, M.A.D.Editions brand. If you've spent the past few years entering raffle after raffle in hopes of securing a watch from the brand, this new design may offer another opportunity in this game of chance. The groundbreaking first entry in the series came from the mind of none other than Max Büsser, and the very different follow-up was spearheaded by prominent watch designer and frequent MB&F collaborator Eric Giroud. This third edition taps into a watchmaker who, while quite a bit further out from the direct radius of MB&F, has always maintained a philosophy on the expression of time in a very similar vein.
