After more than a dozen mechanical creations, ranging from avant-garde interpretations of classic pocket watches to a music box shaped like the USS Enterprise, MB&F is still surprising us. Meet Melchior. He's a 1-foot-tall robot that has articulated arms, is made entirely in Switzerland, and, of course, tells the time. It's one of the more fun debuts here at Baselworld 2015.
MB&F founder Max Busser says he's wanted a robotic friend ever since he was a Star Wars-obsessed child, so he jumped on the opportunity to finally create one for his brand's 10th anniversary.
