“The M.A.D.2 Live is the entry gate to Max Büsser’s kinetic vision — the same lateral time display, the same stroboscopic rotor logic, the same design DNA that commands $26,500 in the MB&F HM12. Distribution is restricted to thirteen raffle events globally in 2026. The archive is positioned to enter at retail via the London stop. This is the only acquisition window that will ever exist at this price point.”

>> [ FIELD_REPORT: THE RAFFLE DOCTRINE ]

The M.A.D.2 Live is MB&F’s most deliberately inaccessible object — distributed exclusively by raffle at thirteen cities across a single calendar year, its silver striated dial available to no boutique, no waitlist, no secondary pre-order. The case deploys a stainless steel architecture over a movement of genuine consequence: a La Joux-Perret G101 base carrying MB&F’s proprietary jumping hour and trailing minutes module, the same temporal logic that defines Büsser’s broader machine language rendered at entry tier. Both sapphire crystals are anti-reflection treated on multiple faces; the engraved steel folding buckle seals an instrument that reads, deliberately, like a vinyl record paused mid-revolution.

[ THE_SHELL: CASE_LOGIC ]

▪MATERIAL: 316L Stainless Steel — polished and brushed finishing.
▪GEOMETRY: 42mm diameter × 12.3mm height; 48.5mm lug-to-lug; 21mm lug width.
▪STANCE: White cut-to-size rubber strap; engraved stainless steel folding buckle.
▪RESILIENCE: 30m / 3 ATM water resistance.
▪CRYSTAL: Dual sapphire — top crystal AR-coated both faces; bottom crystal AR-coated inside face.

[ THE_FACE: VISUAL_INTERFACE ]

▪DIAL: Silver striated disc — exclusive to the Live edition. Surface geometry inspired by vinyl record and strobe platter mechanics.
▪INTERFACE: Jumping hour via aperture window; trailing minutes on a lateral disc — time displayed as a spatial event, not a rotational one.
▪UI_LOGIC: The rotor is the display — its stroboscopic spinning action visible through the sapphire dial, functioning simultaneously as winding mechanism and kinetic spectacle.
▪CRAFT_NODE: Tour city engraved on buckle clasp — each unit carries a permanent record of its acquisition event and location.

[ THE_ENGINE: INTERNAL_MECHANICS ]

▪CALIBRE: La Joux-Perret G101 base (Swiss manufacture); MB&F jumping hour and trailing minutes module developed in-house. 24 jewels. 4Hz / 28,800 bph. Automatic bi-directional winding.
▪RESERVE: 64-hour power reserve. Case fitting: 25.6mm / 11½ʺ; movement height 4.45mm.
▪AUTONOMY: Factory service only — the MB&F jumping module is not serviceable by independent watchmakers. Schedule service via M.A.D.Editions directly.

[ I. THE_STRATEGY ]

▪SURVEILLANCE_GOAL: Monitor the M.A.D.2 Live London raffle as the archive’s potential Kinetic Anchor. The objective is to enter the event at Protein Studios, Shoreditch, on 13 June 2026, secure a raffle position, and initiate extraction at the only retail price point this asset will ever carry.

[ II. STRATEGIC_THESIS ]

“The archive currently lacks a record of Non-Linear Horology — a display architecture that rejects conventional hands entirely in favour of spatial time representation. The M.A.D.2 Live resolves this gap with the most accessible execution of MB&F’s kinetic language, delivered at retail via a friction mechanism that no capital alone can bypass. The raffle is the moat. Entry requires physical presence at one of thirteen global events in a single year. The London stop at Hands On Horology on 13 June 2026 is a confirmed acquisition window. This remains a high-conviction surveillance target pending raffle outcome.”
