Back in 2013, MB&F presented our first-ever “Co-creation” with MusicMachine 1 – the beginning of a new chapter, in which MB&F collaborates with external creators on projects outside the scope of the wristwatch. Almost a decade later, Maximilian Büsser and his Friends decided it was time to redesign this music box and issue a new edition: MusicMachine 1 Reloaded. Like the previous MusicMachines, this Co-creation is the fruit of a collaboration between MB&F and REUGE, the premier manufacturer of music automatons with more than 155 years of expertise. Originally designed by young Chinese designer Xin Wang, this new edition was reinterpreted by German designer Maximilian Maertens, with the idea of being more streamlined and open. The entire body is now made of anodized aluminium (vs. wood) – a significantly more complex manufacturing process. The songs remain the same, with Star Wars and Star Trek classics on one side, and rock melodies on the other.
