The M.A.D.1 "Time to Love" is the third artist collaboration in the M.A.D. Editions series, created together with French fashion designer Jean-Charles de Castelbajac and limited to 999 pieces worldwide. The upside-down architecture of the M.A.D.1 platform is put to full use here, with a triple-blade titanium and tungsten rotor lacquered in Castelbajac's signature red, yellow and blue "angel wings" spinning where a conventional dial would sit.

Limited to 999 pieces, the "Time to Love" pairs MB&F's most accessible mechanical platform with a French fashion designer known for his colourful, joyful iconography - the caseback is engraved with a Castelbajac verse and the whole watch reads as a wearable art object rather than a conventional wristwatch.
