MB&F's M.A.D.Editions introduces its third model, the M.A.D.3 Vincent Calabrese, a collaboration honoring the independent watchmaker. This watch reimagines Calabrese's signature wandering jump hour complication from his Baladin watch, featuring a unique display where the hour aperture moves progressively over a few minutes rather than jumping instantly. The M.A.D.3 aims to bring MB&F's creative spirit to a more accessible price point, available through a raffle system.
