replica Bell & Ross MGF114 Men's Watches Büsser's forte

In July 2005, at the age of 38, Büsser created the world's first horological concept brand: MB&F (Maximilian Büsser & Friends), in which he is now partnered with Serge Kriknoff.Büsser's dream with MB&F is to have his own brand dedicated to developing radical horological concepts by working in small, hyper-creative groups composed of people he enjoys working with. Entrepreneurship is Maximilian replica Bell & Ross MGF114 Men's Watches Büsser's forte.In 1998, when only 31, he was appointed managing director of Harry Winston Rare Timepieces in Geneva.During his seven years there Büsser developed the company into a fully-fledged and well respected haute horlogerie brand by developing the strategy, products, marketing and worldwide distribution, whilst integrating design, R&D and manufacturing in-house.

The results were a 900 per cent increase in turnover and the positioning of Harry Winston as one of the leaders in this very competitive segment.??Maximilian Büsser's love for high-end horology was nurtured by his first employer, Jaeger-LeCoultre.During his seven years in the senior management team during the 1990s, JLC replica Bell & Ross MGF115 Men's Watches strongly increased its profile and multiplied its turnover by a factor of ten.Büsser's responsibilities at Jaeger-LeCoultre ranged from Product Management & Development to Sales & Marketing for Europe.??Büsser graduated in 1991 with a Masters in Microtechnology Engineering from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Lausanne.For further information, please contact: ?Estelle Tonelli, MB&F SA , Terrasse Agrippa d'Aubigné 6, P.O.Box 3466, CH-1211 Geneva 3, Switzerland ?Email: et@mbandf.com Tel.: +41 22 786 3618 Fax :+41 22 786 3624Source: MB&F

Their watch designs are contemporary, however, their movements are actually more traditional, with classical complications, such as chronographs, torubillons and minute repeaters, made in-house, by hand. This is what makes Roger Dubuis a truly exceptional brand.

The Genesis of a Concept LaboratoryThe projects that gave Maximilian Büsser the most pleasure and personal satisfaction during his seven-year tenure as head of Harry Winston Timepieces, were those working with talented independent watchmakers on the exciting Opus watches series.

An idea for his own personal utopia emerged: that of creating a company dedicated solely to designing and crafting small series of radical concept watches in collaboration with talented professionals he both respected and enjoyed working with.The entrepreneur in Büsser brought the idea to reality.MB&F is not a watch brand, replica Bell & Ross MGF111 Men's Watches is an artistic and micro-engineering concept laboratory in which collectives of independent horological professionals are assembled each year to design and craft radical Horological Machines.Respecting tradition without being shackled by it enables MB&F to act as a catalyst in fusing traditional, high-quality watch with cutting-edge technology and avant-garde three-dimensional sculpture.

MB&F's first timepiece, HM1 (Horological Machine No1) was delivered from 2007 and introduced the concept of three-dimensional architectural horology.This was followed by HM2 in 2008 and HM3 in 2009, which were both inspired by science fiction.The year 2010 heralded the HM4 Thunderbolt, considered by many to be replica Bell & Ross MGF113 Men's Watches MB&F's most audacious machine to date.MB&F is independent people creating for independent people.Biography- Maximilian BüsserMaximilian Büsser was born in Milan, Italy, before moving at an early age to Lausanne, Switzerland where he spent his youth.Growing up in a multi-cultural environment and family - his father was a Swiss diplomat who met his mother, an Indian national, in Bombay - led Büsser to develop a cross-cultural, broad-based approach to life and to business.

replica Corum 10140.406010 watch finished engine

Case (continued): Technically there are also three main sections, but these comprise a fore section in titanium, which includes the dials and articulated front lugs; a central section in sapphire offering unprecedented 360° access to the superbly replica Corum 10140.406010 watch finished engine; and an aft section tapering down to the dual crowns and framing the animated balance, which is supported by an aerodynamic cock.Methods borrowed from aeronautic engineering are visible in the externally mounted screws, which provide both rigidity and watch resistance to hold the case's three sections solidly and elegantly together.

Beginning with a solid piece of sapphire, more than 100 hours of intricate machining and meticulous polishing are required to turn an opaque block of crystal into the clear, light-filled atrium of the central case section, which reveals part of the Thunderbolt's engine and engineering details.The metal case sections are milled from solid blocks replica Corum 02120.012014 watch of high-tech Grade 5 titanium, which undergoes hundreds of hours of machining before polishing, masking and finally satin-finishing of the suces.The results speak for themselves.The contrasts of matte with highly polished suces, titanium with sapphire, straight lines with seductive curves and rigid forms with articulated arms endows Horological Machine No4 with a life and vibrancy that sets it apart from anything that has ever gone before.HM4 Thunderbolt is the quintessential machine as three-dimensional kinetic art.

Rupture in Art, Rupture in WatchImpressionist paintings scared classicists and were greatly misunderstood.MB&F's Horological Machines scare replica Corum 02120.102204 watch classicists and are greatly misunderstood.Horological Machine No4 is unlikely to change that, but the rupture with traditional watch is so complete that it allows HM4 to be appreciated for what it is, i.e.raw, unfettered three-dimensional kinetic art.Until the 19th century, art was fairly straightforward: painters did their best to replicate what they saw and their skill was judged on how closely they copied reality, with little latitude allowed for a brush-stroke or two of emotion.With the introduction of photography, even the greatest traditional artists could not compete in terms of realism.But that liberated more adventurous artists like Monet, Cézanne and Renoir to break from realism and to paint, not just with a brush-stroke or two of emotion but with raw, unfettered emotion.

replica Swiss Rolex ETA watches shells around

The lead in a Reuters article summarizing scientific findings from the coral reef conference being held this week in Fort Lauderdale reads, Like a tooth dipped in a glass of Coca-Cola, coral reefs, lobsters and other marine creatures that build calcified replica Swiss Rolex ETA watches shells around themselves could soon dissolve as climate change turns the oceans increasingly acidic.The piece continued: The carbon dioxide spewed into the atmosphere by factories, cars and power plants is not just raising temperatures. Or turn to our profile of Team Slipstream, and pray, for the good of the sport, that they, at least, can keep it clean.--Matthew Fishbane

It is also causing what scientists call ocean acidification as around 25 percent of the excess CO2 is absorbed by the seas.The problem with reef and underwater news stories is that many readers cant relate. Unless you are a diver -- and at this point, a fairly old one -- its difficult to grasp how much has been lost. Excuses aside, these new findings are particularly alarming. What we know is that the pH value of the oceans has been around 8.2 (7 being neutral) for replica Bvlgari watch hundreds of thousands of years.... What we dont know is where we are going to end up on that scale. The U.N. predicts, by centurys end, that pH number will get to 7.8. Coral reefs -- the deeps apartment complexes, where marine life congregates, eats, hides, and lives -- begin to decalcify at 7.6. If the pH of the ocean drops more than predicted, or continues to drop, then the skeletons of the corals could turn as soft as marshmallows.

According to the report, the most we can do now is develop ways to help coral reefs adapt to a changing environment so as to buy them another 40 of 60 years of existence before hoped-for cuts in industrial pollution begin to have an impact.According to Simon Donner of the University of British Colombia: The climate is like this big ship. In replica Japanese Rolex watches our case the ships the Titanic and were going to hit the iceberg. Its almost impossible for us not to hit the iceberg.What we need to do is everything we can to put the brakes on, to slowthe ship down, and then do whatever we can -- hopefully the coral willhelp us with this -- to move the iceberg a little bit.--Alex Crevar
