Illustrated books about watchmaking
A passion worth passing on.
Discover the people and ideas behind remarkable watches through original illustrated books, created for children and the collectors who share their passion.
01 / Our belief
A watch can be passed down. So can its story.
Behind every remarkable watch is a human story. One of ideas pursued, obstacles overcome, and sometimes the courage to do things differently. We believe those stories deserve to be told, not only to those who already appreciate watchmaking, but to those discovering it for the first time.

02 / Between generations
It starts with a question.
What's so special about that watch? A simple question can lead to a story of imagination, perseverance, or an unlikely friendship. Our books give collectors a way to share the world behind the watches they love, one story at a time.
03 / The collection
The people behind the watches.
Each book tells the story of one person in watchmaking. The first is Max Büsser's Creative Journey, about the founder of MB&F. Others will follow, each with its own person, its own maison and its own world on the page.
