MB&F Launches 'Nostromo' Self-Assembly Table Clock Kit for MAD Gallery's 15th Anniversary

MB&F has introduced a limited-edition table clock called 'Nostromo', available as a kit for CHF12,000 (approximately £11,000), comprising 233 parts for the buyer to assemble. This launch commemorates the 15th anniversary of the MAD Gallery in Geneva. Creative designer Maximillian Maertens chose the name 'Nostromo' to highlight its extraterrestrial-inspired design. Assembly requires around ten hours, guided by a 250-page manual and provided tools, and the clock stands on a tripod base. The target audience consists primarily of watch aficionados with an interest in independent horology. Created by Maison Alcée, established by Alcee and Benoit Montfort, the kit is designed to spark enthusiasm for watchmaking. The 'Nostromo' features an hour chime and a 14-day power reserve, while MB&F is contemplating a second kit clock but no wristwatch.
