MB&F introduces the Minimilians

MB&F introduced the Minimilians: a collection of collectible, alien-like creatures with heads modelled after the watches making up the MB&F collection

MB&F is introducing the Minimilians to its community of customers and fans: a collection of collectible, alien-like creatures with heads modelled after the various watches making up the MB&F collection.

The name "Minimilians" pays homage to the brand's founder, Maximilian Büsser.

Since its inception in 2005, MB&F has introduced over 20 different calibers across about 30 unique case designs. Now, each of these designs has been transformed into its own unique figurine.

From now on, every MB&F watch registered at The Tribe, MB&F's owners club, whether brand new or previously owned, will come with a corresponding Minimilian figurine at no additional cost. This applies not just to new registrations but also to watches already registered at The Tribe.

The first batch of Minimilians will be hitting the mail starting this month.

The Tribe, a close-knit community of approximately 1,100 MB&F owners, enjoys numerous perks. These include special event access, exclusive products, and an extended warranty on their watches. The Minimilians serve as a token of appreciation to Tribe members for their support over the past two decades.

For MB&F owners who have not yet registered their watches with The Tribe, the process is quick and straightforward. Once registered, the corresponding Minimilian figurine will be prepared and shipped to its new home.

Designed by Maximilian Maertens and manufactured by AB Concept, both long-time friends of the brand, the Minimilians are produced using a state-of-the-art 3D printing machine that can create objects measuring anywhere from 2 mm to 38 cm. 

Made from polyamide, a type of durable and shock-resistant nylon, the figurines start as a powder that is transformed into grey models and then painted white to highlight their features and personalities.

The Minimilians feature a textured, ceramic-like finish with an artisanal feel, reflecting the meticulous production process that yields an average of 10 figurines per day. mbandf.com
