I present to you the tale of the progress of one engineer, watchmaker (though he insists he is not one), and one of the main architects of the notion of fine watchmaking not as the rote reiteration of past triumphs, but rather the invention of unforeseen ideas. Presented for your consideration, the life and career, told in watches, of one Maximilian Büsser - who remembers things which increasingly, we should, and do not.
This is Talking Watches with Maximilian Büsser of MB&F.

For me, who has watched the Talking Watches series from the beginning, this one is really special. Max makes you see watches again for the first time. Thanks Hodinkee and Jack!
Well said and so much truth to this.
I was able to finance my wrist watch business with the profits I made from my Altcoin investment in just 8months. I couldn't even believe I started my business without any loan.
@@charliejordan5282 Can I buy the Paul Newman Daytona if I invest in Altcoin?
@@charliejordan700 Can I also buy the whole Apple company? heard it cost only about a trilion bucks....
@@charliejordan700 Well said! , I'm into stocks and Altcoin investment as well. I make good return from them.
Forget watches, Max and Jack’s conversation are lessons on life. Stay humble, stay mad, celebrate the people in your life, say thank you. A lesson for every leader. Thank you.
One of the best Talking Watches ever, really admire how humble Max is, loves how he doesn’t forget to give credit to other people where it’s due. While most of the MB&F watches are not something that suits my taste (and my wallet), I always like their crazy and conceptual designs, especially their collaborations with L’Epee
Okay, I keep seeing these kind of comments about how “this” or that episode is a return to form for talking watches…except these comments exist on every video 🤔 Maybe talking watches has just been good the entire time 🙄
My dad's watch is an ebel wave from the 80s. Hearing Max talk about the brand in this way, makes me re-evaluate how cool my dad must have been when he was younger!
It’s so hard to view products in their historical context. You are spot on, your Dad must have been a very cool person.
This man is an absolute legend. Such a passionate and genuine watch enthusiast. You see the joy in his eyes every time he talkes about his products and his company. And man, his storytelling is insane: if he held a 4-hour speech about his refrigerator, be sure I will still be there listening to him and feeling his passion. He's one of the true gems that make this industry so amazing. Thanks Max, for everything you do for watchmaking.
Miyota, seiko, Ebel. For an ultra high end watch company, he sure appreciates all price ranges and is not a snob.
"To celebrate that I was alive, I jumped on a bus and bought my dream watch." - we can all relate. 🤣
After you buy a watch you celebrate by buying another watch.
@@etamarshamoil2739 I like the way you think
Non! He's a ditz, basically, they both are.
@Etamar shamoil I'm stuck in this cycle myself. How do you make it stop? The minute I buy one I think about Mt next one 🤣
I had an honor to meet Max and sat down with him for a lovely dinner two years ago in Shanghai. We talked about an hour. He told me a story of him buying a vintage Corvette. He paid top dollar for the best example he could find. At the time he thought he overpaid. but later with the vintage car market skyrocketed, I think he made the right decision. Max is the guy who never settles. He just wants to be the best that he can be. Hopefully when the whole Covid situation settles down, I can see him again. What a great individual.
This dude is a freaking genius! And an excellent human being. He deserves all his success. Now to save my pennies to buy one of his pieces.

What a great storyteller, appears to be honest and humble. Good episode, HODINKEE!
I don't comment often, but I just had to say this is one of the best Talking Watches episodes. Maybe one of the best watch videos out there. Great storyteller, creative genius, but very humble and gives credit where it's due 💯
omg......i can listen to this two guys hour's.......the best video about watches,passions ,ambition or just a wish
to do somethings special,different and so near to perfection....
Is just a joy to hear someone that really knows his business and it is passionate about the industry and thankful for the competition.
In this moment of speechlessness all I can think is ‘wow. A truly insightful and inspirational encounter!!
This is one of the best Talking Watches. Amazing storytelling, a passionate artist, humble, giving credit where credit is due, humble. Bravo Hodinkee and Jack!
I agree with Josh Himwich's comment 100%. Best episode ever. Inspiring from start to finish on so many levels.
I really enjoy that Maximilian talks about Ebel watches. I feel like it's a great timepiece and brand that's gotten lost in the shuffle. I hope it reemerges someday in the mix of conversation.
Believe they're part of the Movado group now, so all hope may be lost for the foreseeable future. Concord is in that group as well. I would love to see all 3 of those brands make a return to their heritage (Concord, Ebel, and Movado).
@@mcstarling07 I agree! Lots of potential!
This is totally a next level collection. Max isn't a simple collector - he is a curator and a creator. When I hear him talking about watches I always think that he is totally feeling what he is doing. Great guy and perhaps the best Talking Watches so far.
MB&F is an amazing company. Max reminds me of Enzo Ferrari and his ability to engineer a one of a kind product when everybody seems to focus on circular watch designs. Kudos to Hodinkee for introducing us to Max and doing such a personal interview. Interestingly enough, the sayings his mother taught him were taught to me by my mom. Small World…
Kind of speechless after watching this. The depth and breadth of the watch industry truly is only as endless as our imaginations.
Well done Hodinkee team. This is the best episode of ‘Talking Watches’ by a very wide margin. Also, what a breath of fresh air with not a single Rolex or Patek on the desk!
My favorite episode ever. As a collector since the mid-90s, watchmaking history is far more interesting to me than a table of acquisitions. Max is the greatest.
One of the best talking watches
Hands down my favourite episode of Talking Watches, the passion he imbues into his craft is so infectious!
Loved this episode! Maximilian speaks with so much enthusiasm, it's contagious
Fantastic interview. Suprisingly fresh and interesting. More like this, please.
His personality has floored me.
Would like to thank his mother's soul.
Jack is a fantastic interviewer. Whenever he speaks he provides valuable input but lets the subject tell their story most of the time.
Massive new fan. As a designer, I am in awe of this man and company…
I own an Ebel Tekton Titanium 1911 conograph. One of the best watches I have ever worn . I wear it to this day and I would never sell it. This gentleman has fine taste in watches .
Just awesome , the Man has the Soul of an Artist .
my favorite talking watches so far,
His designs are not for me, but he's clearly a genius, and he's hired several geniuses to work with him. And I love how humble he seems to be, and all the credit he gives to others.
What an awesome interview - the passion shines through
Hands down, the greatest talking watches episode of all time.
Creative genius, watches, business, life philosophy, and storytelling all packed into one beautiful video!
Most impressed thank you H.
See his face hear his voice when he explain his Jaeger.. you can tell how much he really love watches 👍👍
one of the most engaging Talking Watches to date..should have been an hour long! Thanks Jack!
By far one of the best "Talking Watches" I have ever seen. Great content and interview. What passion in watchmaking.
One of the best episodes for sure!
Been watching watch content for a bit of time now. this guy just is such an inspiration .
This Talking Watches with Maximilian is fantastic! This episode and the Todd Levin one are my two favorites. You can see and hear the joy he has for watches. I agree with other commenters that you also see how humble Maximilian is. After watching this I am convinced MB&F is not a work place, rather a gathering of creativity and an expression of joy!
There are few people able to create their dreams. Max is one of them and I have so much respect for him. Currently I am a proud owner of a M.A.D. 1 Red and my dream is to one time in the future own a MB&F Legacy Machine.
Seriously one of the best episodes to date.
Wow, wow, wow!! Easily the best since John mayors talking watches I’ve seen yet! Thank you!! This guy is a class act and such a great person to represent the industry in the way I want to view it. Very inspiring
Max's passion about watches makes you look at them from a very different respective. Thanks for that episode and thanks to Jack for being a great listener.
By far, the best episode yet!
I can watch a 4 hour long video of maximilian talking and geeking about watches and never get bored.
Wow! Max is the definition of a genius!
Such passion and joy. I envy you.
I hope this man never goes bankrupt. Absolutely inspiring and creative dude and excited to see his watchmaking see a broader audience. Hope the brand stays for decades and centuries to come
How do you not love this guys passion ?
Max like so many others is extraordinarily humble, but in actuality is a legend in his own right.
Bravo Max, keep up the great work
This is hands down one of the best talking watches EVER!!! ⚡⚡⚡
What a refreshing genius and madness 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
one of the best interviews I've seen. Such an inspiring person.
One of the most surprising (pleasantly) and enjoyable Talking Watches episodes. The passion exibihted by Mr. Büsser has earned my respect. Simply fantastics!
I haven't finish video yet, but I just wanted to say it's one of the best Talking Watches I saw. Mr Busser, it was a pleasure.
The story about JLC Reverso is really interesting, I had no clue about that!
What an absolutely brilliant episode. Up there with the JCB episode in terms of enthusiasm. People will come back to this every once in a while as wel I'm sure.
Chapeau to Mr. MB&F! They create masterpiece to wear on a wrist.
One of the ultimate talking watches!! Such a great guy. And the MAD edition is being made. Yaayy!!
Huge respect to Max and to team hodinkee for this episode
awesome interview with an equally awesome man. The enthusiasm Max has for his craft is a pleasure to see. Also it is refreshing to here Max praise all the people who have inspired or has contributed to the brand. Just a delight. Thanks
Absolutely inspiring. What an episode, what a unique story and perspective.
easily the best talking watches ever
This should be a movie! I could listen to max talk for days
Great episode 👏
Pure passion. 👏🏻👏🏻
So different to see a Talking Watches with a guest whose life basically revolves around watches, he gives another perspective on them.
I'm obsessed with MB&F. This man is truly a watch genius
What an episode...
This is a special one. 🙏🏾 Hodinkee
What I liked about this episode shows that even watchmakers are interesting get very nutty about watches and I purely love it. What I appreciate that he can appreciate high horology like a Kari Voutilainen and forgotten timepieces like a Ebel Chronograph and the Seiko Discus Burger.
A simply fantastic episode of Talking Watches - thanks Max Büsser and Jack Forster!
I had the chance to wear an MB&F even for a trial. Amazing.
You have to be congratulated. These are excellent talks. Every person you interview is so humble and easy to gain insight too. I'm not a watch person, but I do love mechanical watches. Thank you so much.
Good thoughts, Good words, Good deeds!
One of the best guests. And what a fantastic collection.
How does talking watches KEEP getting better?! This is the best one to date just wow amazing watches, amazing stories.
The type of ep that sorta transcends watches. Life lessons thanks
This the best TED talk I’ve seen in ages 😀
I had to pause the video, 2:39 seconds into it. Max and I are the same age, and I remember Eble From the 90s. It was a very desirable and collectible brand. Having awesome flashbacks watching this so far!
Superb interview! Every time I see an interview with Max it it's a smile on my face. Such a nice guy! His pieces are not only creative, they are horologically unbelievable. Kudos to him and his team 👍
Definitely the best Talking Watches episode, keep it up!
I’m sat here with a Patek collection book beside me. Watching this video truly shows how much creativity exists outside the legacy brands we’ve all been groomed to put atop the horological pedestal. AMAZING WATCHES! Thank you
The best talking watches episode ever!
What a fantastic episode.
Propably best TW episode. Thanks
What is really cool Are the MBL speakers in the background..truly What Any mb&f collector should have😎
What a nice gentleman (Jack is okay too) ! Have viewers noticed that a French speaking Swiss first league watch guy, having worked at the company, uses the German pronunciation for Jaeger.
Props for that first watch story!!!
Watched all 73 of talking watches , this is definitely one of my top 3 (Bill Higgins, Maximilian Büsser, Ronny Chieng) with no specific order. And the best quote is from Ronny "Don't ruin this for me! Do not ruin this for me!". Suggestion to Hodingkee, I know Patek and Rolex is in your blood and you know every reference number , just don't say them , please write those talked watch reference numbers in the description section for people who need them.
I would not been able to wear the MB&F pieces with comfort. I rather view them as art / design pieces and I have the highest respect for the Max's courage to build a company around his crazy ideas.
very interesting! Love bel watches. so great and much infos. thank you so much! 👍🏻😎😎
Absolutely amazing episode of Talking Watches.
Amazing episode. Max is a great guy and makes you love watches all over again. Thanks Hodinkee and Max
My Diwali celebrations became a bit sweeter after watching this episode. Happy Diwali, everyone!
Happy Diwali to you!
What a beautiful episode 💫✨🤩
Thank you !
Greetings from Greenwich, London.
