MAD Editions’ M.A.D.3 Vincent Calabrese: Baladin Reimagined
The M.A.D.3 Vincent Calabrese by MAD Editions is a collaborative, affordable showcase of Vincent Calabrese’s Baladin complication, redesigned for an off-the-shelf La Joux-Perret G111 with an MB&F-derived module to yield smooth, progressive digital hours and trailing minutes. The 40mm stainless steel case by Eric Giroud frames a blue sunray dial with a white sapphire minute ring, luminous hands, 30m water resistance, 55-hour power reserve, and a 1,500-piece run priced at CHF 2,900 ex VAT (raffle Sept 1–7), plus a pink Tribe version reserved for friends. It’s praised as a standout, design-forward project that highlights collaboration and Calabrese’s creative approach, beyond just a watch.
