The MB&F LM101 was inspired by Maximilian Büsser’s desire to distill the essence of mechanical watchmaking into its purest form, reimagining himself as a watchmaker born a century earlier. With its 40 mm case and in‑house calibre, the LM101 places the traditional 14 mm flying balance wheel front and center—floating visibly under a domed sapphire crystal—paired with simple, clean subdials for time and power reserve in an asymmetric layout. It pays homage to 19th‑century craftsmanship, featuring superlative hand-finishing by Kari Voutilainen and a design stripped down to just the balance, time, and energy—an elegant marriage of historical reverence and modern minimalist innovation.

MB&F HM3 Watch Repair >
The MB&F HM3 was inspired by science fiction and space-age design, with its radical architecture evoking imagery of spacecraft and futuristic machinery. Maximilian Büsser and designer Eric Giroud aimed to break away from traditional watchmaking norms by creating a kinetic sculpture that told time in a wholly unconventional way. The HM3’s twin rotating cones for hours and minutes, combined with its exposed automatic movement, were meant to resemble turbine engines or alien technology, making the watch feel like a mechanical lifeform on the wrist. Its bold asymmetry and architectural depth were a direct challenge to conservative horology, embodying MB&F’s mission to push timekeeping into a new dimension.

MB&F HM4 Thunderbolt Watch Repair >
The MB&F HM4 “Thunderbolt” draws its inspiration from Maximilian Büsser’s childhood passion for model airplanes and classic aviator instruments. Designed with an aeronautical mindset, its case mimics a fighter aircraft’s fuselage, featuring twin pods for time and power reserve akin to cockpit gauges, all beautifully encased in titanium and sapphire crystal. The architecture, with dials oriented perpendicular to the wrist, echoes pilot watches for optimal legibility in flight, while its overall form pays homage to WWII-era planes like the P‑47 “Thunderbolt”, making it both a technical marvel and a nostalgic tribute to aviation.

MB&F LM1 Watch Repair >
The MB&F Legacy Machine No. 1 (LM1) was born from founder Maximilian Büsser’s whimsical thought experiment: “What if I’d been born in 1867 instead of 1967?” Imagining himself working during the golden age of pocket watches, Jules Verne, and the Eiffel Tower, Büsser sought to create a three-dimensional wristwatch that fused 19th‑century traditions with futuristic artistry. The result is the open-domed LM1, showcasing a 14 mm suspended balance wheel under a curved bridge reminiscent of the Eiffel Tower, twin independent time-zone subdials, and a vertical power reserve inspired by marine sextants, all reflecting a lovingly reimagined past replete with modern haute horlogerie precision.

MB&F LM Perpetual Watch Repair >
The MB&F Legacy Machine Perpetual was inspired by founder Maximilian Büsser’s vision to reimagine the classic perpetual calendar through a modern lens, a collaboration with Irish watchmaker Stephen McDonnell. Setting out with a blank slate, they completely reinvented the intricate calendar mechanism—introducing a 581-piece, fully integrated movement with a novel “mechanical processor” that starts each month at 28 days and adds extra days as needed, eliminating the risk of skipped dates or gear jams seen in traditional designs. The design places the full complication in open view under a soaring balance wheel—honoring 19th‑century craftsmanship while showcasing the innovative architecture front and center, blending classical elegance with technical ingenuity.

Heartfelt Testimonials on Watch Repair
Jane Murray ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I found Times Ticking on the internet. The last time I had a watch repaired locally it cost more than the watch did new. I got it back just like new 2 weeks later and 2,000 miles away. HIGHLY recommended. Times Ticking was prompt, inexpensive, and even phoned when they got my watch and told me in advance what it would cost to repair.
Keith Kerney ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Their service was grade A!!! They're quick and professional; they always kept me updated with status of my watches. Their work is flawless which they stand behind, to me most importantly. They speak to you as if you're an old friend asking for help; in which they're always happy to do. Times Ticking; a place where you can ask an old friend for help.
Matthew Emory ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I cannot speak to the local facilities or sales staff. I am an internet customer who took a chance and sent my prized Accutron watch across the country to folks I do not know and have never met. This was a big decision which took several weeks to discern. I am thrilled with my decision and am planning to send my Dad’s watch in for repair. The difference? This time there is no hesitation whatsoever.
Ellen Hymes ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I was thrilled that they were able to repair and clean up a watch that I had inherited from my mother. It looks great and works great. The service was fast. The person who called me about the watch was very friendly and seemed grateful for my business. I would highly recommend them to anyone and will use them again if the need arises. So refreshing to receive such good customer service these days!
Peter K ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I highly recommend Times Ticking for watch repair. Jesse & crew know their stuff and even take the time to talk with you. They communicate very friendly/professionally and most of all the prices are more than fair for such craftsmen skills! My opinion: They are like the American Restoration of watches.

HISTORY OF MB&F
The Legacy of MB&F: A History of Precision, Style and Innovation
Founded in 2005 by former Jaeger-LeCoultre and Harry Winston executive Maximilian Büsser, MB&F (Maximilian Büsser & Friends) was created as a concept lab for radical horological art. Breaking from corporate tradition, Büsser brought together independent watchmakers and designers to craft bold, three-dimensional timepieces—starting with the convention-defying HM1.
Rather than seeking mass appeal, MB&F embraced limited production and avant-garde design, merging futuristic forms with Swiss craftsmanship. The 2011 launch of the Legacy Machine series paid tribute to traditional watchmaking, while creations like the HM4 Thunderbolt and HM7 Aquapod pushed boundaries even further. Today, MB&F is celebrated as a pioneer in modern independent horology.
