Question 1

What does “pre-owned” mean at The 1916 Company?

Accepted Answer

“Pre-owned” refers to collectible timepieces that have been previously owned and are now available through our authenticated selection. Each MB&F watch is vetted by our team of horological experts and includes a 2-year global warranty.

Question 2

What makes MB&F watches different from traditional luxury watches?

Accepted Answer

MB&F timepieces are three-dimensional horological sculptures that challenge conventional watchmaking norms. Each piece is created through collaboration with independent watchmakers and artisans, resulting in technically complex, visually striking creations that blend science fiction, design, and engineering.

Question 3

Are pre-owned MB&F watches considered collectible?

Accepted Answer

Yes — MB&F watches, especially limited editions like those in the Legacy Machine and Horological Machine lines, are highly collectible due to their rarity, craftsmanship, and avant-garde design. Many models are produced in very limited numbers, often under 100 pieces.

Question 4

What is the Legacy Machine Split Escapement known for?

Accepted Answer

The Legacy Machine Split Escapement is celebrated for its suspended balance wheel — dramatically separated from the escapement mechanism, which is hidden on the back of the movement. This configuration demonstrates MB&F’s technical mastery and aesthetic distinctiveness.

Question 5

Do MB&F watches hold their value?

Accepted Answer

While individual performance may vary, MB&F watches are often sought after in the secondary market, particularly limited editions. Their low production volume and artistic innovation contribute to strong demand among collectors.

Question 6

Are MB&F watches wearable for daily use?

Accepted Answer

While MB&F designs are bold and sculptural, many models — particularly from the Legacy Machine series — are designed with comfort and wearability in mind. That said, these pieces are typically worn as statements and collected for their artistry as much as their utility.
