Kind of looks like a rebranded (and modded) Sinn 157.

MK's big influence and who got him started early on was Herr Sinn.

MK's first watches were Sinn 'homages'.

Nah I'm pretty sure he broke out with rebadged 103, 203 and other sinns. Wasn't bad until he made up a logo that is a sign for Women's bathroom in Russia or Kim Kardashian's garbage
