The study of time and space blends science and technology with faith in concepts forged by man. The question of what lies beyond our world holds an eternal gravitational pull, with possible answers as endless as the universe itself. That endlessly mysterious cosmos beckons us forward, to look beyond our reality and imagine a tomorrow full of promise.

For Swiss watchmaker MB&F, anything is possible. The name comes from Max Busser & Friends, a collective of watchmaking masterminds who push the limits of technology with boundless creativity. By rethinking mechanical timekeeping from all angles, they often draw inspiration from the world of science fiction, where watches can resemble rockets, UFOs, or even robotic animals.

The 40mm stainless steel LM101 features the mainspring and balance wheel suspended above the blue dial, similar to the bridge of a spaceship. The titanium HM10 Bulldog resembles a snarling robot canine equipped with a jaw-shaped power reserve indicator that closes as the movement winds down.

Distinguished Professor/Vice Chair Academic Personnel Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Bioengineering, UCLA Samueli, School of Engineering, Chang-Jin "CJ" Kim wears the LM101 and the HM10 by MB&F. Photographed April 2 in the Vasquez Rocks Natural Area and Nature Center, Agua Dulce, California.
