The MB&F team has done it again! Time to live up the 70s/80s/90s disco era again with this new watch that is designed to be worn on the dance floor!

For many, our best memories have been living it up on the dance floor. Well, here's a watch to channel our inner Studio 54...

The movement is Swiss Made by La Joux Perret, it features an instantaneous hour jump! The spinning rotor pays homage to the spinning turntable!

The watch is 42mm in diameter!

Even the box is cool. The packaging is inspired by a turntable.

The Orange Version is for Tribe members, the Green version is for the lottery system. The dots on the outer periphery will move as the winding rotor moves.

A cool crown.

The dial is inspired by a vinyl record! Time to live it up in the disco era again!

Brilliant. Just brilliant!

Key Points from the Discussion

The M.A.D. Watch 2 is perceived as more refined than its predecessor, the M.A.D. 1, making it more appealing to some collectors.
The instantaneous jumping hour complication is highlighted as a significant mechanical detail that enhances the watch's appeal and aligns with MB&F's innovative spirit.
The watch features an almost digital-like display, allowing for direct horizontal reading of the time, drawing comparisons to watches like the A. Lange & Söhne Zeitwerk.
The lottery system for acquiring the green version of the M.A.D. Watch 2 prevents impulsive purchases and creates anticipation among collectors.
The M.A.D. Watch 2 is seen as a continuation of MB&F's creative drive, demonstrating that the brand is not resting on the success of the M.A.D. 1.
The watch is envisioned as an ideal 'weekend watch,' perfect for casual drives and enjoying music, reinforcing its disco-inspired, fun aesthetic.

The green one is lottery and the orange one is for M.A.D. 1 members. Have a little faith! The lottery may work for you! May the odds be in your favor!

it looks really good and it is great to see that they are moving on with the creative drive not just resting on the laurels of the MAD 1

I wonder if this means that the M.A.D. 1 will be discontinued eventually though...

I think I read two articles earlier neither of which gave any insight. My suspicion was they did as you say, but those two articles I read were silent on this. I like these. More refined the the first watch and therefore more appealing to me. Will I enter the lottery? I really don’t know. But green is my colour…

I’ll probably enter the raffle this time.
