That's great!
I have fond memories of having a full-metal Mazinger Z with spring-loaded fist launchers! This and my milton bradley Starbird were my most prized possessions!

...was originally intended to be their 20th Anniversary piece. In typical MB&F fashion, it had other plans. Below is from MB&F What began as a mad idea – “wouldn’t it be cool if a watch could be the head of a robot?” – turned into five intense years of cr...
This is THE ROBOT we've always dreamed of
That's mechanical poetry, words are unnecessary, I wish I could look at it closely.
This IS the Droid you're looking for 🤖
Yes, wish we could visit our local MB&F AD and see it.
I think this is brilliant
Look, I'll be honest, this watch isn't for me, it's very expensive. But I love the creativity. I miss the early and mid 2000s when companies like MB&F and Hautlence started along with houses like Maitres du Temps, Cabestan, Breva, HD3, MCT, or Romain ...
I'm not the only one with that feeling
Though those young watchmakers are definitely skilled and talented, how many of a carefully polished movement there can be? It's seems like the perfect homework, but it's emotionless, there's no creativity and positive madness. This machine is a crazy, ja...
I’m with you on this point.
For me this is fantastically cool, it’s exactly what MB&F should be bringing to the watch world. And to your point we need more and more of this type of creativity. Round watches have been around forever, and while I’m a buyer of certain nicely finish...

The watch itself seems very wearable…
…and almost conventional relative to a Frog, Bulldog etc. The overall package is exactly why I love MB&F. For me I love the Horological Machines, less so the other stuff they do (even accounting for the technical genius of the greatest Irish watchmaker ev...
I love how fresh their work is
IMO this is what independent watchmaking should be. Completely different from what you can get conventionally. If I had more $, I’d totally order one, but maybe the rotating art deco watch they did first. Close!
This is so cool!
What a great idea that brings kid like wonder to something that is more serious lol wish it was tho a sympathique clock or had some kind of connection to the robot but it is super cool regardless! Thank you for sharing!
😍
Brilliant. makes the anticipation of her distant cousin M.A.D.2 R&B's arrival even more exciting 😊
The HM12 is wonderfully unhinged.
MB&F never fails to push boundaries. I love that this one leans fully into the robot idea instead of pretending to be sensible. Mechanical theater like this is exactly why independent watchmaking stays so fascinating. Great to see so much enthusiasm h...
