Maximilian Büsser & Jean-Christophe Bedos

What goes round, comes around….
Exactly ten years ago Maximilian Büsser had the privilege of creating the Opus series at Harry Winston. At that time the jeweler would approach a watchmaker with the idea of creating an exceptional timepiece. Today, in an amazing twist of fate, the young horological Concept Laboratory, MB&F, teams up with the prestigious 152 year old high jewelry legend Boucheron, to create the first ever JWLRYMACHINE.
Why Boucheron? Because of their incredible mastery of three-dimensional haute joaillerie; because of their dedication to creating powerful and emotional-charged creations that leave no one unmoved; and quite simply because both parties thoroughly enjoyed working together!
They each bring to the table a particular expertise and the end result are these incredible pieces neither would, or could, have created on their own. That is the power of what MB&F calls their “Performance Art” pieces.

Under the intricate Boucheron haute joaillerie of this Jwlrymachine beats the heart of the complex 305-component Engine of the MB&F Horological Machine No.3. In fact, when you move this haute joaillerie owl, which is reminiscent of Boucheron's most beautiful creations, you can only be intrigued by the fluttering of its breast feathers, which is a visual illusion created by the faintly perceived oscillations beneath the translucent stone of MB&F's solid-gold battle-axe-shaped rotor.

The result will have many staring in disbelief. You may love it or hate it, but the level of craftsmanship is just mind-boggling.

As if the Citroën Survolt didn’t have creative enough a color scheme going on as it was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show earlier this year, the French automaker has offered up the diminutive, conceptual electric sportscar as a canvas for an even more colorful interpretation.

A collaboration between Citroën and French artist Francoise Nielly, the resprayed Survolt just may be expressive enough to give all those BMW art cars a run for their money. The one-of-a-kind vehicle is set to displayed at C42, Citroën’s flagship showroom on the Champs-Elysées in Paris, but if your Air France frequent flier miles isn’t up to the job just yet, you can take the shorter trip to our own gallery below for a closer look.
