What if time didn’t just pass, but wandered?

At Geneva Watch Days, MB&F brings the inventive spirit of legendary watchmaker Vincent Calabrese to life with the M.A.D.3 Vincent Calabrese.

Inspired by Calabrese’s pioneering approach to wandering hours, the M.A.D.3 reimagines the way we read time. Instead of simply jumping from one hour to the next, the hour literally travels across the display.

With its sculptural 40mm stainless-steel case, distinctive layered construction and MB&F-developed wandering-hours module, this is a watch that challenges one simple question:

Why should time always be read the same way?

Discover the M.A.D.3 Vincent Calabrese with The Hour Markers, from Geneva.

“I’m not buying a $2,000 watch hoping it’s going to go to $4,000.”

For NYC Watch Guy, buying an independent watch isn’t about chasing the next big profit. It’s about understanding the watch as a hobby, a passion and a piece of watchmaking, not a quick trade.

But is buying watches for value appreciation really the right way to collect?

Watch the full conversation: “Independent Watch Brands? Value Buy? | NYC Watch Guy | Collectors Corner: The Voice Of India”, now on YouTube.

India’s T20 skipper is stepping into a new arena, and this time, it’s Swiss watchmaking.

A few months ago, Shreyas Iyer was spotted sporting a Baume & Mercier Riviera. Not exactly a subtle hint… and now, the cat’s officially out of the bag.

Baume & Mercier has named Shreyas Iyer as its Friend of the Maison, marking a new chapter where cricketing excellence meets Swiss craftsmanship.

From the crease to the crown, it’s a partnership that feels right on time.

270 years. One philosophy. A watchmaker that time couldn’t defeat.

From a 24-year-old watchmaker in Geneva in 1755 to one of the most revered names in haute horlogerie, Vacheron Constantin has survived revolutions, wars, quartz, changing tastes and almost three centuries of watchmaking.

From the Maltese Cross and Leschot’s innovations to the American 1921, 222, Overseas, Reference 57260 and the 63-complication Berkley Grand Complication, the story is bigger than just watches.

It’s the story of a manufacture that never stopped trying to do better.

“Do better if possible… and that is always possible.”
