A SERIES OF PODCASTS:

To Maximilian Büsser, founder of MB&F, watchmaking is art, but most of all, it’s a mindset, a journey. The history of watchmaking is filled with adventurers - dreamers, engineers, artists who will each in their own way contribute to a better world. The watchmaking journey is first and foremost about very special individuals. Some are rebels and mavericks and most have a little touch of madness…

Over the years, MB&F has united around the brand a collectors’ circle called “The Tribe”, who are each in their own way adventurers. In this podcast, you’ll discover their amazing lives, what drives their creativity and what feeds their passion for watchmaking. Welcome to Tales from the Tribe, the MB&F’s Podcast.

EPISODE 1 — Learn how to smell the roses with Wen Hsieh

This first episode of our series features Wen Hsieh. He was, until recently, a managing partner at Kleiner Perkins, one of the world's most important venture capital firms, based in Silicon Valley, he's an entrepreneurial genius, and he just started his own VC firm, Matter Venture Partners. Maximilian Büsser says that meeting him is one of the high points of his last couple of years, because, as successful as he is as an entrepreneur, he still cultivates a little touch of madness in everything he does.

In this episode, we’ll talk about Wen’s childhood in the Amazon jungle living as a native Indian kid, the historic Google first fundraise, the power of imagination in his daily life and his willingness to find work life balance as a successful entrepreneur, and finally the dream he wishes to achieve in the year to come.
