MB&F combines the creative talents of Max Busser with local Swiss based horological artisans to defy traditional watchmaking and together build some of the most adventurous wristwatches imaginable. The Horological Machine 3,’Frog’ is named because of the bulbous sapphire pods housing one-piece aluminum domes weighing 0.5g with a thickness of 0.28mm to r💛ead the hour and minutes that a resemble frogs' eyes.

MB&F introduced the HM3 Frog in zirconium to🅰 bring more playfulness into high-end watchmaking. Zirconium is a rare metal that resembles titanium but benefits from a stronger composition. Most zirconium can be found in nuclear reactors and high-tech aerospace applications. HM3 Frog Zr is the first wristwatch done in zirconium; MB&F has an interesting piece imbued with this rare mat♚erial. Limited to only 18 pieces, each MB&F is created as work of art.
