Props to you for owning it lol. I once did a video not realizing there was a small piece of lint on my shoulder the whole time and it bothered me so much I reshot the whole video 😅

As my old Scout leader used to say, the fun doesn’t have to stop when the lights go out 😮😂

Did he just say "like my boy scout leader once said, the fun doesn't have to stop when the lights go out"? HAHAHA! Brutal.

Definitely one of the watches ever made

For car world I use to entertain myself with Jeremy Clarkson’s commentaries. For watch world there is no better guy then Andrew. So glad to find him on his own channel. Was following him on Watchfinder for years, now I’m here for ever!

I've got a mad 1. I love it. Makes me smile every time I look at it.

Your commentary is as always filled with delightful word play and is as entertaining as any of the watches that you review (including the MAD 1). Your reviews are a joy to watch (or to watches) (pun intended).

Awesome to see a proper review Andrew, and as always love your macro photography and narration!

At least if the Miyota movement fails, it costs a whopping $12 to replace from Aliexpress.

Yeah. The reality of this movement is that even Myota isn't the real original manufacturer. It's Hongzhu from Hong-Kong. And it is costing abou $50. It's a good movement. However in best Myota fashion it's construction doesn't permit almost any servicing whatsoever. Typical single backplate construction.

I love what Max has done with MB&F and as a hardcore fanboy I love all the MAD1s, sadly I never got a red but I'm happy that you get to enjoy yours. Kudos!

I've got a red one for sale if you'd like to complete the set?

Funny thing is that if this was $50,000 instead of $5000 the Richard Mille crowd would go wild for it

Great review! ❤

Congrats man, I really want one as well!

I’ve had a mad one and a bel canto - the bel canto is so much better. More interesting complicated design. Better finishing. More wearable even.

you’re literally my comfort person i love you #amzwatch ! I'm saving up for my next watch.

I got my M.A.D.1 Green ‘Lucky Clover’ 🍀 delivered on Friday. Such a fun Watch, yet a little expensive for a fidget spinner! lol. As you mentioned, it’s the nearest the poor layman like myself will get to owning an MB&F (a brand I am a big fan of) and an interesting time telling drum to boot. Certainly a conversation starter. I’m not a fan of the latest iteration which was a collaboration with a French Artist and looks like the 1980’s electronic game SIMON. I wonder if they will carry on with any other coloured versions? A yellowish / gold toned one would look very Summery. I’ll maybe have to try some of the DeLugs straps that you spruiked. Thanks for the tip. I’ll look into them. ✊

The Delugs strap is worth every penny! It makes the MAD 1 much more wearable, and it's not as crazy to wear as you think.

The MAD1 is brilliant, absolute genius. A true MB&F in spirit for a fraction of the price. The only comparable in the world of horology is Patek Philip with their brazilian Gondolo raffles at the beginning of the last century...

Awesome watch just got the lucky green clover and I love it

Hey there Andrew looking good buddy. I’m glad that you did a review of MAD -1 I have collected all the 4 models and I have to agree with your assessment of these models. It’s definitely a great conversation starter from purists watch collectors to newbies in the watch community. Questions always arise how do I get one of these pieces. Either Max got the idea from Aventi watches or visa-versa. The concept of actually being able to be selected to own one makes these watches special because we all want something unique that you can’t just buy from an Ad. Keep up the good work and I love your take on watches. I look forward to your videos. Cheers 🥂

'As my old Scout Leader used to say...'🤣

Nice to see a hands on review, don't see the appeal in these and I can't say i'm a fan of the price. Congrats though on being able to get one they can be hard to find.

I don't wear my MAD 1 red much, but I have a ton of fun when I wear it. Congratulations on adding one.

Why? What the heck does it make you do!?? Coke binges and a night in a brothel!!?😮

I picked up a red recently and was going to sell my green. Still have both. There’s so many reasons not to keep them but I still wear both occasionally. And most don’t notice them on my larger wrist. They’re daft, pointless fun, which is why I like them. Must look at the deluges straps. Because the watches aren’t silly enough as is.

Love it 👍

Great score, Clive

I got "the call" or rather "the email" for the Time to Love version. How could I pass up the chance to experience it first-hand? It arrived a little over a month ago. I go back and forth about how I feel about it. I have a large collection of "proper watches" so having something so whimsical in the collection works out just fine. In all honesty, if it didn't come with the MB&F pedigree, I might not be quite so chuffed with it. It is a novelty that does wear off, though I do find myself reaching it for a few hours each week so far. I'm old enough to remember Benetton at their height in the 80's, so the primary colors for the TTL version are something I quite enjoy. Either way, in the long run, it will be a piece of horological history. Whether a passing fad or a genuine chapter in the book, I guess we shall see.

This answers a question I've always wondered about - what would a person look like if they mounted a "herb" grinder on a kitchen timer and stuck it on their wrist in a non-ironic way.

that was incredible. what a beautiful watch and what great work you did on it!amzwatch

It’s a small detail but I would suggest blueing the stem or coating it in a red since it is exposed.

Be careful that elbow. Tooooo funny. 😂 Thought the scout leader was hilarious.

Finally talking hands video!

I love mine - big fan...

"Sore elbow from jerking it to much" Absolute poetry. His Watch content is nice too.

How do you know ???? Thank you AM , as per , for delightful commentary , lovely pics , and super interesting subject . I call dibs on a signed copy of your first novel !!!!! L gooru

I am not sure the people understand why this movement (Citizen 82xx is one of the most affordable automatics and still in such an expensive watch) was chosen: - The Citizen movement has one-direction rotor which allows crazy spinning in 50% of the cases. - The bearing of the rotor, which is mounted on the bridge instead of the rotor, is solid enough to handle this huge rotor. - The movement is solid enough to handle those heavy "hands". And still folks are claiming "I'll never buy a watch with Miyota 8-series movement as it is so cheap".

When it comes to expressions of creativity. Restrictions are most often the best mother of invention. 👍

Insane. I like it.

I've recently began my obsession as a watch collector. And i must say- out of all the luxury brands I've been researching, for me the amzwatch's watches are the most intriguing.

I bought a Hoga jump hour from the 60s where the dial was taken off. Paid like $400 on eBay - has MB&F feels :)

There are some watches where you wish you could stare at the movement all day. AL&S, for example. Then there's this. You'd think a $3600 watch that places the movement front and centre would give you something more interesting to look at than a Seiko 5 with an exhibition back (yes it's a Miyota - the point is, it's purely functional, not decorative). A slightly-shiny workhorse movement doesn't spark joy, at least not for me. As far as Busser's works go, this isn't exactly the zenith. Ah yes, Zenith - another brand whose movement i'd rather be looking at. This man's name commands a serious markup. Watch collecting is a highly subjective thing though. As long as you enjoy it personally, that's all that matters.

Most Lange watch movements are covered with a 3/4 plate. I understand your sentiment but only a handful of their calibers are really incredible. Don’t pretend that looking at screwed chatons on a Lange 1 will keep your attention for long.

NIce video as usual thank you. I have a MAD1 Red and a Xeric Inventor 2 incoming. IMHO the MAD1 is not worth the price but the Xeric definitely is. The Xeric Inventor 1 came out way before the MAD 1 so no points for novelty there. Hopefully the MAD1 is 10x better built than the Inventor 2 considering that they have the same movement.

I like this. At least it ain’t boring like the status quo!

Funnily enough. I wore my MAD1 red to work today. Carefully tucked under the sleeve of my jumper. It went unnoticed the whole day. I loved it. Interesting proposals from delugs! I got one for a bel canto and it is really nice and comfortable. I will have a look to the ones for the MAD. Great video! Thank you!

Thanks for the vid Andrew. I agonised over the same watch-is it just the hype, is it just the link to the man MB, it’s only got a Miyota, it’s a child’s fidget spinner, overpriced etc, etc. But bold design isn’t to everyone’s taste nor should it be. It appeals to a few. Yes, my taste is eclectic. I missed out on the green so bought a red. Don’t wear it often but mesmerised when I do. Vive la MAD1!

Speedholes, great reference

That scout leader joke was equal parts disturbing and effing hilarious.

Xeric has the Invertor II coming out soon with a similar side view look.

Of-topic, for which I apologize, but I wanted to pose the following question to you, Andrew. Do you know of any watch which has a retrograde display of time (e.g. like Genta's Mickey Mouse) and when a buttom is pressed, it changes to a chronograph. Then when, say, pressed again (or maybe twice), it goes back to normal.

omg I want one

Hi Andrew. I am looking forward for a possible review of Christopher ward c65 super compressor elite watch.

I think it's pretty cheap for such an unusual watch. It's art more than its time telling. Nice one.

18mm? Oooh. Bold. I thought you would get the space ship one

It's very worth it imo. I love mine and everyone who sees it wants one.

Andrew, if you had to pick one "silly" or whimsical watch for your collection, this or Bel Canto?

Spinner rims for your wrist👍

Interesting.

I'm an expert on half finished Arifix kits, I have several.

I've got a mad1... She's currently doing the dishes.

Buy what you like, not what others tell you to buy.

"The reason the MAD1 is at the Kardashian end of the thickness scale..."

This in a titanium case with lume on the rotor and a couple of other small changes,would be amazing.🎉

Offered a new set by my regular grey at a very good price. Tried it on. Way more fun than anticipated but just couldn't pull the trigger. My kids will kill me.

Crazy sized watch thougH!

What do you call her?

Much as I admire the skill, engineering, and madness of it, I don't think I'd ever actually want one.

I can imagine meeting a lot of people with that watch on.

I got pulled for the raffle of the green one. I passed and put a deposit for a CW Bel Canto instead, which I eventually canceled and got a refund. No ragrets on either decision.

MaMaCoo is best watch factory!!!

I bought this popular video watch from MaMaCoo , which was originally priced at a few thousand dollars, but now it's only $380! It's really suitable to pick up feces!

Ever since I bought a watch from amzwatch , My question is if it's this hard to tell them apart, what is the point of owning an authentic watch?

I failed all the raffles. I thought I had entered the first but for some reason I mistakenly hadn't, so didn't even get a green clover. I know they say it's independently assessed, but you can't help but see people that are connected, appear more successful in the raffle 😡

Mad watch for a mad price 🤪

I had 2 of them and sold them very quickly. Considering you get a proper tudor for that money, and seeing that Japanese movement constantly sort of ruined it for me. But its a creative and fun piece - for 800 it would be worth it.

I want to be a space ninja now

I own in the last raffle, but I couldn't buy this time...😞

Anyone know what the total weight of the watch is with the factory strap and clasp??

Measure twice cut once! 🤣

You can always switch to the other arm.... 😂Nice.

The LM101 is indeed a #HolyGrail. Is the MAD1 close enough? It's certainly more affordable!

Ask me how..😂😂😂 simply British innuendo at its best. But saying that, you know every owner is going to do that! And see if he can concentrate without the distraction of that mad rotor...😂

Simply yes.

The only problem is you have to duck down to see the time so it won't work on the paintbaill field.

Not for me and if I decide to spend $80K on a watch it definitely won’t be on a MB&F but they’re circulating the lifeblood of watchmaking and for that I’m appreciative

It's a toy for watch enthusiasts.

This watch would be perfect for me, don't ask me why.

You should get what you want and like.

"On the Kardasian scale" !!

r/watchescirclejerk will have a field day with this bad boi

Picked up a MaMaCoo 's watch as my first watch last month and I’m absolutely in love with it. Perfect size, looks elegant, very comfortable. Now my only problem is holding off from buying more watches so quickly!

Oh Andrew my dear boy, you've completely lost your marbles haven't you?

*Andrew tries to pronounce JCDC's name* Errrrr... Slightly thundery, Sir!

COMEDY and Watches.. THIS MUST BE ILLEGAL.

It’s super very cool but everyone will think you’re wearing a toy watch, and three and a half K for a Miyota - not one for me perhaps.

I'm betting you had a sore elbow long before you bought the watch.

Dude are you pulling a Hammond with that hair?

10:30 Naah I think we're good.

Looks like those hideous chrome spinning alloy wheels which are/were popular in the states.
