At the early age of 31, right after starting his horological voyage at Jaeger-Lecoulture, Maximilian Busser took over as the managing director of Harry Winston Rare Wrist Watches. He was in all certainty more than merely the company’s head: Busser alone raised Harry Winston from simply a wrist watch manufacturer to a authentic powerhouse in men’s high premium watchmaking.

Busser had an effective nose for dealing with the best independents, and this specific talent has now helped him in founding his very own company, MB&F, thanks to every one of the ‘friends’ he’s created in this modest area of the timepiece industry over time.
