A catalogue raisonné is a comprehensive, annotated listing of all the known works of an artist or sculptor that includes all the details of each work.
It is a relatively common document in the art world, but one that, it seems, has never been made for or by a watch brand... until now.
The MB&F Catalogue Raisonné is a 312-page book (in English) that contains information about every single timepiece produced from the years 2005 to 2020, including prototypes and pieces that were not officially announced before. The book documents all 160 product variations along with over 400 photographs and indicates details such as the model name, reference number, materials, years in production, and the exact quantity produced. During its first 15 years of existence, the watch Maison produced some 3,000 timepiece, equipped with 18 calibres and interpreted through countless variations, all of which are listed in this book.
Readers will discover the complete body of work of MB&F, including some surprises. It is a well-known fact that the brand does not accept requests for bespoke timepieces. Nonetheless, in 2009 and 2010, when times were hard, it decided to design several unique pieces, which were sold without press release or fanfare. In true transparency, the reader will also discover these horological surprises among the pages of the book.
The Catalogue Raisonné is published by the Editions de La Martinière and distributed by Abrams, in a first run of 2,000 copies.
