**Maximilian "Max" Büsser** is a contemporary watch maker and entrepreneur.

Maximilian Büsser was born in [[Milan]], the son of a Swiss diplomat and an Indian woman. In [[1991]] he graduated in [[Lausanne]] as a Master in Micro Technology at the Swiss Federal Office for Technology.

He worked for seven years for [[Jaeger-LeCoultre]] and contributed significantly to the strong revenue growth of this manufacturer. In [[1998]], when he was only 31 years old, he became managing director at [[Harry Winston]] in Geneva. Again he is credited for strong growth there during his seven year tenure, including launching and managing the influential [[Harry Winston Opus]] program.

In July [[2005]], at the age of 38, Büsser launched his own brand, [[MB & F]] (Maximilian Büsser & Friends). The company targets revolutionary new approaches in the field of Haute Horlogerie and ventures into uncharted territory of design. With its unusual and provocative creations such as [[MB&F Horological Machine no. 1|Horological Machine no. 1 (HM1)]], [[MB&F Horological Machine no. 2|HM2]] and [[MB&F Horological Machine no. 3|HM3]], he caused a great sensation in the field.
