M.A.D.1 Green Lucky Clover 2024 [Preowned]

Overview 

The M.A.D. 1 Green, affectionately known as the "Lucky Clover," is not just a watch—it's a horological phenomenon and a bold statement of creative freedom. Released in late 2023, it holds a special place as the third edition in the M.A.D. 1 series, following the highly sought-after red and blue versions. Born from the minds at M.A.D. Editions as a special project for the friends of MB&F, this timepiece shatters conventional design rules to deliver a mesmerizing, three-dimensional experience. It's a thank you to the brand's supporters and a rare opportunity to own a piece of this unique creative universe.

The most striking feature of the M.A.D. 1 is its inverted architecture. Instead of a traditional dial, the watch showcases a fascinating, triple-bladed battle-axe-shaped rotor on the top side of the watch, spinning with hypnotic energy. This isn't just a visual spectacle; it's the heart of the watch, visible through a sapphire crystal. Time is told in a truly unconventional way, with two concentric rotating aluminum discs—one for the hours and one for the minutes—visible on the side of the case. These discs feature luminous green numerals that provide excellent legibility and perfectly complement the watch’s vibrant "Lucky Clover" color scheme.

The M.A.D. 1 is built for durability and comfort with its 42mm case, which combines robust steel and lightweight titanium. Powering this rebellious creation is a highly modified Miyota 821A automatic movement, which has been cleverly inverted to allow for the top-mounted rotor and side-mounted time display. This ingenious engineering solution not only makes the watch's design possible but also keeps it at an accessible price point, staying true to the project's democratic spirit.

The "Lucky Clover" edition specifically features a matching vibrant green rotor and a supple black strap with green stitches, further enhancing its distinct and playful personality. This timepiece is a perfect embodiment of the M.A.D. spirit: an honest, fun, and highly technical piece of horological art that stands proudly apart from the rest. For the collector who values originality, rarity, and a rebellious streak, the M.A.D. 1 Green is a highly sought-after and utterly compelling proposition.
