This watch is the result of a collaboration between MB\u0026amp;F, the famed watchmaker Kari Voutilainen and Jean François Mojon. The latter's creative watchmaking company, Chronode, was responsible for the development of the Legacy Machine No.1’s movement.\n\u003c!-- SECTION BREAK --\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe goal of the Legacy Machine No.1 was to create a tribute to the fine and antique watchmaking of the past, and combine it with the forward-looking spirit of MB\u0026amp;F. The nod to the past was largely achieved through the classical round case of the watch, sized at 44mm, and the finishing of the movement. The engravings, Geneva waves and the internal bevelled and polished angles all highlight the skilled handcraft of traditional watchmaking. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThat being said, the design of the forward-thinking nature of MB\u0026amp;F is apparent, most notably through the central balance wheel that has been placed in the front of the watch, floating above the movement and the dials. The very large, bespoke, 14 mm balance wheel, with four traditional regulating screws is striking, separating itself from the manual-winding, single mainspring barrel movement beneath. The unique architecture of the Legacy Machine No.1 is further emphasised through the high-domed sapphire crystal that has been coated with anti-reflective material, creating a very real presence on the wrist. Compounding to this, there is an innovative, three-dimensional linear power reserve indicator at 6 o’clock. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Legacy Machine No.1 features a dual-time zone complication. The two are completely independent of each another, with two dials and independent setting crowns at 4 and 8 o’clock, making it a highly usable travel watch. Many travel watches or world timers cannot take into account half-hour time zones for countries like India and parts of Australia, but with the independent times on the two dials, the Legacy Machine No.1 is able to. This MB\u0026amp;F has highly contrasted blued gold hands. that allows for maximum legibility when reading the time. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe watch has a power reserve of 45 hours and comes on its original brown faded alligator strap, with matching red gold tang buckle. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eViewings can be arranged in Central London by appointment. \n\u003c!-- SECTION BREAK --\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCloser look \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eBrand:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMB\u0026amp;F\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eModel:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLegacy Machine 1 - 20.DRRTL.R\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eMovement:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eMechanical \u003cspan\u003emanual-winding - Sowind base\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eFunctions:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eTime-only: dual time-zone hours and minutes, power reserve display\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eDisplay Back, blue steel hands\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eCase:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003e44 mm \u003cspan\u003e18-carat rose gold\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eCrystal:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eSapphire front and back\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eBracelet:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eBrown stitched alligator strap with rose gold tang buckle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eBox \u0026amp; papers:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eFull set - original box and papers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"MB\u0026F","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":23315098115,"sku":"CDSRG M394","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0606\/5325\/products\/buy-MBF-LM1-Legacy-Machine-1-rose-gold-rare-independent-traveller-watch-for-sale-online-WATCH-XCHANGE-London1_868ba0c8-1eb7-4b4f-a17d-6727390330ce.jpg?v=1635940159"},{"product_id":"buy-mbf-music-machine-reuge","title":"Music Machine 2 | REUGE | Limited Edition","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe MB\u0026amp;F MusicMachine 2, made in collaboration with REUGE, is arguably one of the most iconic representations of the company’s free-spirited mantra.

Much like the thinking of Max Büsser and friends, the AGENHOR mentality is to be progressive in their approach to contemporary watchmaking for the 21st century, but with great respect for tradition. In 2007, Jean-Marc Wiederrecht won the ‘Best Watchmaker’ award at the GPHG (Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève) - the most prestigious award ceremony in the watch industry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the design, the Horological Machine No.3 was developed to fully-display the machine’s superbly finished movement in operation. Its impressively crafted bridges, rapidly oscillating balance-wheel, gearing and distinctive battle-axe shaped automatic winding-rotor are all exposed through the front-side of the watch. To the right, two time-indicating cones sit perpendicular to the arm, displaying the hours and day\/night indicators above the minutes below. To the right, the date is indicated by a rotating-disc progressing alongside the movement, with a machined “arrow” marking on the case. The 18-carat white-gold and titanium “spaceship”case measures 47 mm in width and 50 mm in length (excluding the concealed lugs), and has a thickness of 16 mm.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne of the main challenges in the HM3’s design was to enable sufficient transmission energy from the mainspring, to the time and date display. The reverse of the watch reveals the technical secret behind the inverted movement – two large ceramic bearings, efficiently transmitting power up to the cones and date wheel.

The brand's most successful watch ever achieves a nod to history through the classical round shape of the watch, sized at 44mm, and the classical finishing of the movement. The engravings, Geneva waves and the internal beveled and polished angles, all highlight the skilled hand-craft of traditional watchmaking.\n\u003c!-- SECTION BREAK --\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThat being said, the forward-thinking design of MB\u0026amp;F is apparent, most notably through the central balance-wheel that has been placed in the front of the watch, floating above the movement and the subdials. The very large, bespoke, 14 mm balance wheel, with four traditional regulating screws is striking, separating itself from the manual-winding, single mainspring barrel movement beneath. The unique architecture of the Legacy Machine No.1 is further emphasized through the high-domed sapphire crystal that has been coated with an anti-reflective material, creating a very real presence on the wrist. Adding to this, there is an highly-innovative, three-dimensional linear power reserve indicator at 6 o’clock. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Legacy Machine No.1 features a dual-time zone complication. The two are completely independent of each another, with two dials and independent setting crowns at 4 and 8 o’clock, making it a highly-usable travel watch. Many travel watches or world timers cannot take into account half-hour time-zones for countries like India and parts of Australia, but with the independent times on the two dials, the Legacy Machine No.1 is able to. This MB\u0026amp;F has highly contrasted blued-gold hands, that allow for maximum legibility when reading the time. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis watch is the result of a collaboration between MB\u0026amp;F, the famed watchmaker Kari Voutilainen and Jean François Mojon.

Prior to this, \u003cem\u003eMB\u0026amp;F\u003c\/em\u003e’s use of complications was limited to the tourbillon, and executed mainly for an aesthetic impact. This \u003cem\u003eLegacy Machine 3 Perpetual Calendar\u003c\/em\u003e marked the first time \u003cem\u003eMB\u0026amp;F\u003c\/em\u003e took on a traditional high-complication, and executed it in their signature, forward-thinking style; making it a horological milestone in a space where only a handful of perpetual calendar variations had existed. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In many ways,\u003cem\u003e MB\u0026amp;F\u003c\/em\u003e reinvented the idea of the perpetual calendar, building on ideas seen in earlier examples of the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.acollectedman.com\/collections\/mb-f\/products\/mbandf-legacy-machine-lm2-rose-gold\" title=\"View a rose gold example of the Legacy Machine 2\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eLegacy Machine\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e series.

This required re-construction of the movement, as the posts used to support the dials stopped a traditional lever-system from operating. \u003cem\u003eMB\u0026amp;F\u003c\/em\u003e and Stephen McDonnell replaced the complex and delicate lever system, and opted instead, for a series of stacked gears. This neat approach not only enabled the free-spirited design of an open-worked dial, but had the added benefit of displaying the functions clearly and legibly on the dial side. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFurther to this, the calibre introduced a default length of 28-day months, as opposed to the traditional use of 31 days. With this, a “jump” of up to four days can be avoided at the end of certain months, making date switches more reliable, and ensuring each month would switch at the correct number of days. The calibre also makes use of an internal safety-system, deactivating the correctors at date changeovers, to spare the movement from accidental damage by its user. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe goal of the \u003cem\u003eLegacy Machine\u003c\/em\u003e series was to create a tribute to fine and antique watchmaking of the past, and combine it with the forward-facing, creative finesse of MB\u0026amp;F. In its aesthetics, the nod to the past is largely achieved through the classical, round shape of the case, sized at 44.5mm. The engravings, Geneva waves, internal beveled and polished angles and countersunk blued screws all highlight the superlative hand-finishing of traditional, 19th-century watchmaking. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The \u003cem\u003eMB\u0026amp;F\u003c\/em\u003e’s progressive, avant-garde style is most apparent in the open-worked dial, and in the floating effect of the raised discs. The brand’s signature 14mm “flying” balance is seen at the centre of the dial, utilising a split escapement that operates on both sides of the movement, via a large central stem. Pristine white, stretched-lacquer sub-dials are found at 3, 6, 9 and 12 o’clock; displaying the day, month, date and time, respectively. The hands are made from blued-gold, whilst the grey main-plate is decorated with a sun-ray pattern. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The unique architecture of the \u003cem\u003eLegacy Machine 3 Perpetua\u003c\/em\u003el is further emphasised through the high-domed sapphire crystal that has been coated with an anti-reflective material, making the watch 17.5mm high in total and creating true presence on the wrist.

Further, the \u003cem\u003eHM5\u003c\/em\u003e features functioning shutters on the top of the case.

MB\u0026amp;F are well-known within the horological world for their experimental designs, and this HM3 Black Frog is no exception.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough the piece may appear overwhelming at first, it is fairly easy to read, with the hour and minute domes intended to be read together, and a date wheel that links both domes together in a symmetrical fashion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCharacterised by bulbous domes that mimic a frog’s eyes sticking out of water, a unique feature of these domes is that they enlarge the numerals beneath the crystal, allowing the time to be seen from several angles, without the wearer needing to turn their wrist. These sapphire crystals were incredibly challenging to develop, as any imperfections could lead to a distorted view.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are several differences between this version and the original HM3 Sidewinder, such as the development of a new gear train, as the hour dome of the HM3 Black Frog revolves across 12, rather than 24 hours. The date wheel has also been slightly enlarged compared to the previous Sidewinder edition. Additionally, the rotor of the watch is outlined in green and is shaped like a battle-axe, a nod to MB\u0026amp;F’s signature design. The wearer is also able to catch a glimpse of the movement underneath, just below the rotor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- SECTION BREAK --\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eCloser look\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"63\"\u003eBrand:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"213\"\u003eMB\u0026amp;F\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"63\"\u003eModel:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"213\"\u003eHorological Machine Nº3 \"Black Frog\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"63\"\u003eMovement:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"213\"\u003eThree-dimensional horological engine designed by Jean-Marc Wiederrecht\/Agenhor, Girard-Perregaux base\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"63\"\u003eFunctions:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"213\"\u003eDate, hours, minutes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"63\"\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"213\"\u003eLimited Edition of 12 pieces, display back, green rotor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"63\"\u003eCase:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"213\"\u003eTitanium\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"63\"\u003eCrystal:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"213\"\u003eSapphire front and back\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"63\"\u003eStrap:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"213\"\u003eMB\u0026amp;F black alligator strap, bespoke grey alligator strap from Jean Rousseau, titanium tang buckle \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"63\"\u003eYear:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"213\"\u003e2010 (purchased)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"63\"\u003eBox \u0026amp; papers:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"213\"\u003eouter paper box, inner box, leather MB\u0026amp;F wallet, international warranty card (signed and dated), booklet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eCondition\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis MB\u0026amp;F HM3 Black Frog is in very good condition overall.

MB\u0026amp;F have a long history of collaborating with artists that they admire, and this example draws upon Chinese contemporary art to fuse art and horology. Born in Shenyang, China, Xia Hang is known for his imposingly sized, comma-shaped men created out of mirror-polished stainless steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Legacy Machine 1 integrates Xia Hang's work by transforming one of the \"comma men\" into a power reserve indicator, in place of the vertical indicator used in the original LM1. When the mainspring is fully wound, the figure's head is upright, and when the power reserve is running low, the figure slumps down. This whimsical transformation is quintessentially MB\u0026amp;F, in keeping with their philosophy on playful design. Each watch is accompanied by a set of Xia Hang sculptures, a \"Mr. Up\" and \"Mr. Down\", which are versions of the fixed states that the miniature power reserve takes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis watch is the result of a collaboration between MB\u0026amp;F, independent watchmaker Kari Voutilainen, and Jean François Mojon. The latter's creative watchmaking company, Chronode, was responsible for the development of the Legacy Machine No. 1’s movement, where they emphasised the large balance wheel, as inspired by the golden age of pocket watches. Meanwhile, the movement was produced and finished by Voutilainen. Their names are engraved on the back of the movement, in keeping with MB\u0026amp;F's culture of recognition of the craftsmen and watchmakers they work with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA central-balance wheel has been placed in front of the watch, floating above the movement and sub-dials. The very large, bespoke, 14 mm balance wheel, with four traditional regulating screws is striking, separating itself from the manual-winding, single mainspring barrel movement beneath. The Legacy Machine No.1 features a dual-time zone complication. The two are completely independent of each another, with two dials and independent setting crowns at 4 and 8 o’clock, making it a highly-usable travel watch. Many travel watches or world timers cannot take into account half-hour time-zones for countries like India and parts of Australia, but with two independent dials, these can now be set on the watch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- SECTION BREAK --\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCloser look \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eBrand:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eMB\u0026amp;F\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eModel:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eLegacy Machine 1 Xia Hang ref. \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLM1\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eMovement:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003emanual-winding calibre \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eLM1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eFunctions:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003edual time, hours, minutes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003epower reserve indicator in the shape of a Xia Hang sculpture, limited edition of 12 pieces, blue steel hands, display back\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eCase material:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003ewhite gold\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eCase diameter:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003e44mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eCrystal:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003esapphire front \u0026amp; back\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eStrap:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003ebespoke \u003ca title=\"View our grained leather strap in misty slate\" href=\"https:\/\/www.acollectedman.com\/products\/bangkok-dark-grey-watch-strap\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/www.acollectedman.com\/products\/bangkok-dark-grey-watch-strap\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" data-mce-style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003egrained leather strap\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/a\u003e from our own collection, grey large-scale alligator strap, MB\u0026amp;F platinum pin buckle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eLug Width:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003e23 x 20mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eYear:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003e2014\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eBox \u0026amp; papers:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eMB\u0026amp;F outer box, MB\u0026amp;F capsule, wallet, Xia Hang 'Mr. Up' sculpture, Xia Hang 'Mr. Down' sculpture, instruction booklet, warranty booklet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eCondition\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis MB\u0026amp;F Legacy Machine 1 Xia Hang LM1 Limited Edition is in very good condition throughout.

While their first collaboration, the Legacy Machine Perpetual, presented McDonnell’s fresh take on the perpetual calendar, the Legacy Machine Sequential Evo rethinks the chronograph as we know it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 44mm case is crafted from zirconium, a metal known for its twin properties of hardness and lightness compared to the more conventional choices such as stainless steel and titanium. The case features a polished bezel, satinated midcase and a polished display caseback secured by eight screws. In the midcase are the five polished square pushers as well as the crown. The short lugs, high-polished on the top, have brushed facets and profiles. They curve down dramatically and on them is a white rubber strap, each secured by three screws visible on the movement side of the case. They come together with a double-fold, spring-loaded clasp, signed with the brand mark.    \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe minimal bezel affords more real estate to the dial-free aesthetic under the domed crystal. The four-armed balance wheel is secured by the familiar twin-arm bridge that towers over the rest of the dial. North of it are the twin 30-minute counters, while to the south of the balance lie the two large chronograph seconds registers. These wear a similar layout – a chapter ring with white printed numerals and baton markers, while the centres show off the thoughtfully crafted mechanics underneath, with bridges and components mirroring each other's form. The chronograph minutes are tracked by white hands with arrow pointers, while the chronograph seconds hands are simple, slim batons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMcDonnell’s innovation involves two independent vertical clutch chronographs linked by a Twinverter mechanism. While the chronographs can individually be engaged by their respective pushers, the fifth pusher at 9 o’clock governs the functioning of the chronographs when they need to be run in parallel to time to simultaneous events, or in sequence to time successive laps. The elegant solution affords a level of functionality that is absent even in most rattrapante chronographs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlanked by the two chronograph seconds registers, at 6 o’clock, is the time-telling display. The register is the only solid one, aiding time-reading ease. Set against a rich black, the printed white baton hour markers offer visual contrast, as do the white, arrow-tipped hours and minutes hands. This register, that also wears the brand mark printed in white, is set against the grey, radial sunburst base that frames the dial side.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe theme of symmetry, peaking from under the registers on the dial side, continues onto the movement side as well. The two large, thin-rimmed intermediate wheels of the chronograph sit atop the gold minute counter wheels as well as those of the twin going trains. Further down, secured by a single, irregularly shaped bridge, are the twin mainspring barrels, arranged vertically. They are slightly different in size, but this arrangement is crucial not just to providing the manual wind calibre with 72 hours of autonomy but also for accurate timekeeping even with both chronographs engaged. Another bridge at 7 o’clock features an up-down-style power reserve indicator.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe larger bridges wear rhodium plating, giving them a darker appearance. They wear Côtes de Genève while the smaller, triangular bridges are mirror polished. All bridges bear sharp anglage and many of the visible jewels, such as the ones anchoring the mainspring barrels, are ensconced in gold chatons. The watch designer’s name is etched in an elegant calligraphic font, as is the jewel count and the country of origin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Legacy Machine Sequential Evo, that comes with its display box as well as its warranty paperwork, features not just a landmark movement by one of Britain’s finest watch designers, but also one of the rare instances of true mechanical innovation in modern watchmaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- SECTION BREAK --\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCloser look \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eBrand:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eMB\u0026amp;F\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eModel:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eLM Sequential EVO\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eMovement:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003emanual-winding\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eFunctions:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003edual chronograph, hours, minutes, power reserve indicator\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eTwinverter switch, flying balance wheel, galvanic black dials with Super-LumiNova, display back\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eCase material:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003ezirconium\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eCase diameter:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003e44mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eCase thickness:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003e18.2mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eLug-to-lug:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003e53mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eCrystal:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003esapphire front \u0026amp; back\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eStrap:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eMB\u0026amp;F black, white and yellow rubber straps, MB\u0026amp;F zirconium butterfly clasp\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eLug width:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003e19 x 25mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eYear:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003e2023\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eAccompanying materials:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eMB\u0026amp;F outer sleeve, inner foam box and metal capsule, leather cardholder, International Sales Warranty booklet (signed \u0026amp; stamped)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eCondition\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis MB\u0026amp;F Sequential Evo is in excellent overall condition and is practically unworn.

The piece represents a key inflection point in the brand’s evolution, while drawing upon MB\u0026amp;F's strong relationships with many of haute-horology’s finest independent movement makers. This, when coupled with careful choosing of its suppliers, has led to the development of visionary contemporary watches, celebrated equally for their exceptional design and mechanical brilliance.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe goal of the Legacy Machine LM101 was to create a tribute to fine and antique watchmaking of the past, and combine it with the forward-facing, creative finesse of MB\u0026amp;F's design. The nod to the past was largely achieved through the classical, round shape of the case, sized at 40mm, and movement finishing. The engravings, Geneva waves, internal bevelled and polished angles, and countersunk screws all highlight the superlative hand-finishing in the style of traditional, 19th-century watchmaking.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThat being said, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.acollectedman.com\/collections\/mb-f\"\u003eMB\u0026amp;F’s\u003c\/a\u003e progressive, avant-garde style is apparent, most notably through the unique central balance-wheel that has been placed in the front of the watch, floating above the dial. The LM101, much like its predecessor, the LM1, displays a large, 14 mm “flying” balance wheel with four traditional regulating screws, separating it from the manual-winding, single mainspring barrel movement beneath.

It was also the 15th year since the heritage brand H. Moser \u0026amp; Cie. was resurrected by the Meylan family. They jointly marked the occasion by imbuing two watches – the MB\u0026amp;F FlyingT and the LM101 – with the spirit of both brands. While H. Moser \u0026amp; Cie. took the lead on the former, creating the H. Moser x MB\u0026amp;F Endeavour Cylindrical Tourbillon, MB\u0026amp;Fcrafted an iteration of the LM101 that blended several Moser details Büsser admired.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MB\u0026amp;F x H. Moser \u0026amp; Cie LM101 was produced in a series of four fum\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eé dials in different colourways, with 15 examples of each. This piece, bearing the reference 51.SL.MB, wears the Funky Blue fumé dial. In addition to the fumé dials, which are an H. Moser \u0026amp; Cie. signature, this series of LM101s also featured that brand’s double hairspring technology. Another element, marked by the absence of any brand mark, was a reference to the aesthetic of H. Moser \u0026amp; Cie.’s Concept line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eThe design - in stainless steel\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe stainless steel variant is perhaps the best loved of the 40mm LM101 cases. The first instance of the brand producing the LM101 in stainless steel was when MB\u0026amp;F created a limited series of 10 pieces in collaboration with Hodinkee. Since 2021 the brand has produced a stainless steel variant of the LM101 with a light blue dial. However, the MB\u0026amp;F x H. Moser \u0026amp; Cie LM101 of course predates this standard production piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 16mm profile of the case is mostly due to the remarkably domed sapphire crystal. The dimensions are minimised by the concave form of the minimal bezel. The bezel has a flat profile where it meets the case, and is evenly high polished. The horizontal satination of the midcase offers contrast, while the lugs that originate from this part, are vertically brushed in profile. The lugs are fractionally stepped from the midcase, the points of separation visible on top and in profile. Their curved down form is adorned with high polishing on top; they also have a gentle facet to them. The knurled crown, with the the MB\u0026amp;F signature, is at 4 o’clock. The bezel around the display caseback is also concave with laser engraved details such as the mark of the two brands that collaborated on the watch, case metal, serial number as well as its limited edition status.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fumé dial’s sunburst detail goes from a cool blue shade in the centre to a pitch black on the periphery in a way that immediately makes H. Moser \u0026amp; Cie.’s involvement apparent. The architecture of the raised arms of the balance bridge are obviously key to the LM101 aesthetic, as is the oversized, 14mm wide flying balance wheel. However, closer inspection reveals the twin springs, another detail from H. Moser \u0026amp; Cie.’s arsenal. Produced by Precision Engineering AG, the sister concern of H. Moser \u0026amp; Cie’s that MB\u0026amp;F sources its balance springs from, the double spring offers advantages related to precision due to improved isochronism. This is because the two springs, tethered in opposition to each other on the four-armed balance wheel, help negate the effect of the displacement of the point of gravity when they expand during the normal functioning of the balance. Situated within the form of the black polished and rounded balance bridge is the V-shaped escape bridge, vertically brushed and noticeably flatter. The action of the Swiss lever escapement, together with the motion of the balance wheel, lends dynamism to the dial side that lack a seconds indication.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOffset and plied by feuille-style hands, is the minimal time display.

Their approach to watchmaking focuses on collaboration and bringing handcrafted methods to their futuristic ideas. The latter idea is an integral part of MB\u0026amp;F's Legacy Machine series, of which this LM2 TI belongs to. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Legacy Machine 2 was first introduced in 2013, as a follow up to the LM1 released in 2011. This particular LM2 TI was part of a limited series of 18 released in 2017, introducing a titanium case as well as a vibrant green colourway to the dial. The goal of the Legacy Machine series was to create a tribute to fine and antique watchmaking of the past, and combine it with the forward-facing, creative finesse of MB\u0026amp;F. A nod to the past is largely achieved through the classical, round shape of the case, sized at 44mm, and the finishing of the movement. The engravings, Geneva waves, internal beveled and polished angles and countersunk blued screws all highlight the superlative hand-finishing of traditional, 19th-century watchmaking. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat being said, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.acollectedman.com\/collections\/mb-f\" title=\"View our MB\u0026amp;F watch collection\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eMB\u0026amp;F’\u003c\/a\u003es progressive, avant-garde style is apparent, most notably through the unique double “flying” balances unique to the LM2, floating above the movement and dial. These bespoke wheels measure 11mm, with four traditional regulating screws, separating themselves from the manual-winding, single mainspring barrel movement beneath. The double balance wheels are a tribute to the rarely seen historical \"dual regulator\" complication, and are connected by a large, planetary differential that manages the distribution of power to the regulators and feeds the rate of the regulators back to the gear train, allowing for more exact timekeeping. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe unique architecture of the Legacy Machine LM2 is emphasised through the high-domed sapphire crystal that has been coated with an anti-reflective material, making the watch 19mm in thickness. However, when viewed on the wrist, the watch looks significantly thinner thanks to the anti-reflective material, closer to the actual thickness of the case without the glass. A pristine white, stretched-lacquer, sub-dial is found at 12 o’clock, displaying hours and minutes using blued hands, whilst the dial is decorated with a sun-ray pattern, and engraved with the words “Legacy Machine”. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe movement was developed in collaboration with Jean-François Mojon at Chronode, a specialist in creating high-end mechanical movements. The LM2 TI also benefitted from Kari Voutilainen's expertise, both in ensuring that the aesthetic style was in keeping with the quality of watches that could have been produced in the 19th century, as well as for the superb finishing found throughout. Both Mojon and Voutilainen's names are engraved on the movement, making a trio with MB\u0026amp;F's own engraved name. The movement is beautifully symmetrical, featuring Geneva stripes, clean anglage, sharp inward angles, and a myriad of other finishing techniques executed to the highest standards. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eA Collected Man is a Pre-Owned Approved partner of MB\u0026amp;F, a relationship which stems from the deep appreciation we have for the work of Maximillian Büsser and his friends.

Their approach to watchmaking focuses on collaboration and bringing handcrafted methods to their futuristic ideas. Their Horological Machines are kinetic sculptures intended to tease out the imagination, displaying time in entirely unconventional ways. This HM6 is an excellent example of their ambition, with its sinuous curves and carefully balanced design.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis titanium HM6 was first released in 2014, in a limited run of just 50 pieces. Joining a series of Horological Machines that were already quite avantgarde in design, the HM6 pushed this even further, separating all the time-telling elements and completely abandoning any pretense of adhering to a standard watch shape.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe curves and natural shapes found throughout the watch exemplify the biomorphism that permeates MB\u0026amp;F’s work, imposing elements of nature into a functional, metal form. The case itself is made from Grade 5 titanium. A centralised flying tourbillon is the focal point of the watch, visually functioning as the cockpit of the spaceship. There are two crowns present – the one at 3 o’clock for the usual time-adjustment purposes, but the one at 9 o’clock can be activated to roll down a protective cover for the tourbillon, much like opening and closing the top of a convertible, but more practically, this function protects the oils in the watch’s inner workings from becoming oxidised due to light.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeanwhile, the four domes on each corner are reminiscent of spacecraft thrusters, overall highlighting the automotive shape of this case. The two domes that face towards the wearer house the hour and minute indications, which rotate vertically to display the time and have green arrows guiding you to a more exact reading of the time. Because of the curved shape of the glass and the hemispherical indicators, the numbers appear to be slightly magnified, for greater ease of reading and also adding to the quirky appearance of the watch. On the opposite end, the two domes found there are fitted with turbines that spin automatically, in order to regulate the watch’s winding system. These have a black and white pattern that look similar to an illusion pattern.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTurning the watch over reveals the underside of the movement, as well as the four domes. From what can be seen of the movement below the tourbillon, it is excellently finished, with perlage visible on the baseplate, carefully brushed surfaces, and sharp anglage across all the edges. Each of the sections are carefully layered atop each other, giving the impression of depth and complexity even through such a small aperture.

It retained the same brilliant calendar system reimagined by Belfast-based independent watchmaker Stephen McDonnell, while possessing a sleeker silhouette, thanks to updated pushers and the lack of a bezel. The watch demonstrates MB\u0026amp;F’s penchant for collaboration, as well as their eagerness to seek new ways of approaching the craft.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- SECTION BREAK --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded by Maximilian Büsser nearly twenty years ago, in 2005, MB\u0026amp;F have become known for their innovative, conceptual watches made in small numbers and which seek to push the boundaries of how we see time. Their approach to watchmaking focuses on collaboration and bringing handcrafted methods to their futuristic ideas. The latter idea is an integral part of MB\u0026amp;F's Legacy Machine series, of which this Legacy Machine Perpetual EVO belongs to. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen the LM3 Perpetual was released in 2015, it marked the first time MB\u0026amp;F took on a traditional high-complication, and executed it in their signature, forward-thinking style; making it a horological milestone in a space where only a handful of perpetual calendar variations existed. This edition of the LM Perpetual EVO was introduced in 2021, featuring a titanium case with an emerald-green dial.   \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the LM3 Perpetual and as seen in this LM Perpetual EVO, watchmaker Stephen McDonnell reinvented the idea of the perpetual calendar, building on ideas seen in earlier examples of the \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.acollectedman.com\/products\/mbandf-legacy-machine-lm2-rose-gold\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eLegacy Machine\u003c\/a\u003e series. Just as the balance is raised above the dial in the \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.acollectedman.com\/collections\/mb-f\/products\/buy-mbf-voutilainen-mojon-lm1-watch?variant=23315098115\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eLegacy Machine 1\u003c\/a\u003e, the idea was to elevate the perpetual calendar displays above the mainplate. This required re-construction of the movement, as the posts used to support the dials stopped a traditional lever-system from operating. MB\u0026amp;F and Stephen McDonnell replaced the complex and delicate lever system, and opted instead, for a series of stacked gears. This neat approach not only enabled the free-spirited design of an open-worked dial, but had the added benefit of displaying the functions clearly and legibly on the dial side. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFurther to this, the calibre introduced a default length of 28-day months, as opposed to the traditional use of 31 days. With this, a “jump” of up to four days can be avoided at the end of certain months, making date switches more reliable, and ensuring each month would switch at the correct number of days. The calibre also makes use of an internal safety-system, deactivating the correctors at date changeovers, to spare the movement from accidental damage by its user. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe EVO edition of the LM Perpetual introduces some changes, such as a no-bezel construction, with the sapphire crystal fused directly to the case. The shape of the pushers were also transformed from circular, protruding buttons to subtler oblong examples that ensured a sleeker case silhouette. Furthermore, MB\u0026amp;F added an annular dampener (FlexRing) between the case and movement, providing shock protection that is in keeping with the EVO’s desire to be a watch that accompanies the wearer through daily life.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMB\u0026amp;F’s progressive, avant-garde style is most apparent in the open-worked dial, and in the floating effect of the raised discs. The brand’s signature 14mm “flying” balance is seen at the centre of the dial, while deep black sub-dials are found at 3, 6, 9 and 12 o’clock; displaying the day, month, date and time, respectively. The emerald-green main-plate is decorated with a sun-ray pattern. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe movement is beautifully decorated with Côtes de Genève throughout. All bridges bear sharp anglage and many of the visible jewels, such as the ones anchoring the mainspring barrels, are ensconced in gold chatons. The watch designer’s name is etched in an elegant calligraphic font, as is the jewel count and the country of origin. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eA Collected Man is a Pre-Owned Approved partner of MB\u0026amp;F, a relationship which stems from the deep appreciation we have for the work of Maximillian Büsser and his friends.

It features a 40mm platinum case, paired with a vibrant blue sunburst dial. Two lacquer subsidiary dials express the time and the 45 hours of power reserve. Its distinctive appearance is paired with the brand’s first in-house calibre from MB\u0026amp;F, designed by Kari Voutilainen. It is at once classically inspired and wholly modern.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c!-- SECTION BREAK --\u003e \u003cp\u003eSince its introduction in 2014, the Legacy Machine LM101 has been the most instantly recognisable of the brand’s offering. It’s aesthetic, centred around the flying balance and the exaggerated and sculptural twin-armed bridge that anchors it, represented a novelty while remaining true to the key tenets of fine and traditional watchmaking. It represented an inflection point in the brand’s evolution, created by drawing on MB\u0026amp;F's strong relationships with the community of independent watchmakers.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe reference 51.PL.W, produced in a series of 33 examples, was one of the most vibrant iterations of the original LM101 range. It paired a shimmering blue dial with a 40mm platinum case, a metal that the brand employs only sparingly. The popularity of this combination has resulted in the brand issuing another version in 2021, this time pairing a blue dial with a stainless steel case.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe 16mm profile of the LM101 case is mostly due to the remarkably domed sapphire crystal. The dimensions are minimised by the concave form of the minimal bezel. The bezel has a flat profile where it meets the case, and is evenly high polished. The horizontal satination of the midcase offers contrast, while the lugs that originate from this part, are vertically brushed in profile. The lugs are fractionally stepped from the midcase, the points of separation visible on top and in profile. Their curved down form is adorned with high polishing on top; they also have a marginal facet to them. The knurled crown, with the MB\u0026amp;F signature, is at 4 o’clock. The bezel around the display caseback is also concave, with laser engraved details such as the precious metal hallmarks and serial number out of 33. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe 21mm lugs come furnished with a two options ­in alligator-grained leather. They include a shade of granite, with aquamarine lining, and a more subdued black option. The straps are secured by the brand’s signature titanium spring-loaded double deployant clasp, topped in this case with a signed platinum detail.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe sunburst dial, ever changing in tone, is mesmerising. The gleaming lacquer subdials – housing the time display and the power reserve indicator – appear almost as celestial bodies on a cerulean sky. Both displays are framed by thin lips of the underlying metal. This base is brushed in profile. The time display register features a printed chapter of minute dots, followed by a full Roman chapter of hours. The feuille-style hands that ply it are heat-blued, as is the one arcing the 45 hours of reserve in the mainspring. The second register, proportionally smaller, has an Arabic scale, with the numerals marginally italicised. The words “Legacy Machine”, engraved and silvered, complete the adornments on the dial.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eCentral to the dial side view is the large, 14mm wide flying balance wheel. Situated within the form of the black polished and rounded balance bridge is the V-shaped escape bridge, vertically brushed and noticeably flatter. The action of the Swiss lever escapement, together with the motion of the balance wheel, lend dynamism to the dial side that lack a seconds indication.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThrough the exhibition caseback is visible the manually wound calibre that Kari Voutilainen helped MB\u0026amp;F develop. The bridges are visually reminiscent of pocket watch calibres. Set against the baseplate adorned with perlage, the bridges are adorned with Côtes de Genève, the form of the stripes lining up precisely. The 229-component, single barrel calibre offers 45 hours of autonomy and the balance on the dial side beats at 18,000 beats per hour. It is beautifully detailed, with fine anglage and calligraphic engravings noting the jewel count, country of origin and the “MB\u0026amp;F’ and ‘K.

Combining a more classical expression with the brand's signature forward-facing style, the construction of the dial has great depth, backed up by solid, innovative mechanics. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- SECTION BREAK --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded by Maximilian Büsser nearly twenty years ago, in 2005, MB\u0026amp;F have become known for their innovative, conceptual watches made in small numbers and which seek to push the boundaries of how we see time. Their approach to watchmaking focusses on collaboration and bringing handcrafted methods to their futuristic ideas. The latter idea is an integral part of MB\u0026amp;F's Legacy Machine series, of which this LMX Steel and Brass example belongs.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThis LMX bears a slightly different name, as it was made to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Legacy Machine in 2021. Limited to just 33 pieces, the LMX revisits the core concept first introduced in the LM1, highlighting and reframing many of the features that became crucial to the Legacy Machines' aesthetic. The Steel and Brass edition was the third to be introduced, drawing out the more interesting qualities of both metals used in the watch.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe dial of the LMX is three dimensional, with a distinct sense of depth thanks to its unusual arrangement of features, and underscoring MB\u0026amp;F's creation of kinetic sculptures. As usual, at the heart of things lies the large balance wheel, which was expanded to 13.4mm specifically for this example. Instead of being screwed down, the balance wheel is attached via inertial blocks, intended to provide more accuracy in regulating the movement. At noon, a hemispherical feature can be seen, demonstrating the 7-day power reserve, in addition to a weekday display on the opposite side. The crown can be adjusted to allow the wearer to view either side of the hemisphere more easily. Further highlighting the industrial aspects of the watch, we see two separate wheels that correspond to the smaller time-telling dials, rotating when the time is set.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThese time-telling elements are set at an 50-degree angle, rendered in a lacquered white with black numerals and heat-blued hands. These also allow for two different timezones to be set, through the two crowns, respectively. The angle of this is especially impressive, as it makes use of a conical system that transfers energy from a horizontal to a vertical plane.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eOverall, the white metal case and golden-toned, untreated brass dial is an unusual configuration for MB\u0026amp;F watches, leaning more towards a classical aesthetic. The delicate frosting found on the dial enhances the appearance of the metal, and is a nice touch against the sleekly polished parts found throughout. The high-polished steel case also features curved lugs, making the watch pleasantly wearable and a comfortable experience on the wrist, despite the watch's size.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe movement that powers this watch can be seen through the sapphire caseback, and mirrors the symmetry found on the dial. Three barrels are concentrated near the centre, and the movement is decorated with a sunburst \u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCôte de Genève\u003c\/span\u003e pattern, radiating outwards and naturally drawing the eye to the arrangement of parts.

It has a 40mm stainless steel case paired with a rich blue sunburst dial. Sitting atop it are the two lacquer displays, expressing the time and the 45 hours of power reserve. As part of the 2021 releases, it features technical improvements such as the Straumann double hairspring balance as well as a dial devoid of engravings. Powering it is the manually wound calibre designed for MB\u0026amp;F by Kari Voutilainen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- SECTION BREAK --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince its introduction in 2014, the Legacy Machine LM101 has been one of the most instantly recognisable of the brand’s offering. Its aesthetic, centred around the flying balance and the exaggerated and sculptural twin-armed bridge that anchors it, represented a novelty while remaining true to the key tenets of fine and traditional watchmaking. It marked an inflection point in the brand’s evolution, created by drawing on MB\u0026amp;F's strong relationships with the community of independent watchmakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reference 51.S1L.W combines several details favoured by LM101 enthusiasts – it pairs a blue dial with a stainless steel case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe brand first produced the watch in stainless steel as part of a limited series of 10 pieces in collaboration with Hodinkee. It followed this with a 33-piece limited series, matching a platinum case with a lustrous blue dial. Then came the 15-piece collaborative effort in 2020 between MB\u0026amp;F and H. Moser \u0026amp; Cie. with a stainless steel case and a ‘Funky Blue’ dial. The popularity of the pairing of a white metal case with a blue dial resulted in the brand issuing the 51.S1L.W in 2021.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe case is 40mm across and the 16mm profile is mostly due to the remarkably domed sapphire crystal. The dimensions are minimised by the concave form of the minimal bezel. The bezel has a flat profile where it meets the case and is evenly high polished. The horizontal satination of the midcase offers contrast, while the lugs that originate from this part, are vertically brushed in profile. The lugs are fractionally stepped from the midcase, the points of separation visible on top and in profile. Their curved down form is adorned with high polishing on top; they also have a marginal facet to them. The knurled crown, with the MB\u0026amp;F signature, is at 4 o’clock. The bezel around the display caseback is also concave, with laser engraved details such as the metal mark and serial number. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 21mm lugs come furnished with a leather strap in a shade of coffee, and blue leather lining. The strap is secured by the brand’s signature titanium spring-loaded double deployant clasp, topped with a signed stainless-steel detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sunburst dial, in a rich, new shade of blue, is ever changing in tone and mesmerising to behold. The gleaming lacquer subdials – housing the time display and the power reserve indicator – appear as if celestial bodies on a cerulean sky. Both displays are framed by thin lips of the underlying metal. This base is brushed in profile. The time display register features a printed chapter of minute dots, followed by a full Roman chapter of hours. The feuille-style hands that ply it are heat-blued, as is the one arcing the 45 hours of reserve in the mainspring. The second register, proportionally smaller, has an Arabic scale, with the numerals marginally italicised. Notably absent from the dials of this generation of the LM101 are the words “Legacy Machine” that were previously engraved and silvered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCentral to the dial side view is the large, 14mm wide flying balance wheel. Situated within the form of the black polished and rounded balance bridge is the V-shaped escape bridge, vertically brushed and noticeably flatter. As was first seen in LM101 that resulted from the collaboration between MB\u0026amp;F and H. Moser \u0026amp; Cie., the 2021 edition of the watch features a balance with twin hairsprings. Produced by Precision Engineering AG, the sister concern of H. Moser \u0026amp; Cie’s that MB\u0026amp;F sources its balance springs from, the Straumann double spring offers advantages related to precision and isochronism. This is because the two springs, tethered in opposition to each other, help negate the effect of the displacement of the point of gravity when they expand during the normal functioning of the balance. The action of the Swiss lever escapement, together with the motion of the balance wheel, lend dynamism to the dial side that lack a seconds indication.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThrough the exhibition caseback is visible the manually wound calibre that Kari Voutilainen helped MB\u0026amp;F develop. The bridges are visually reminiscent of pocket watch calibres. Set against the baseplate adorned with perlage, the bridges are adorned with Côtes de Genève, the form of the stripes lining up precisely. The 231-component, single barrel calibre offers 45 hours of autonomy and the balance on the dial side beats at 18,000 beats per hour. It is beautifully detailed, with fine anglage and calligraphic engravings noting the jewel count, country of origin and the “MB\u0026amp;F’ and ‘K.

A complex example with its titanium and sapphire glass case, the watch lives up to the spirit of the horological machines, closer to the kinetic sculpture that the brand strives for, meant to be worn and admired.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- SECTION BREAK --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded by Maximilian Büsser nearly twenty years ago, in 2005, MB\u0026amp;F have become known for their innovative, conceptual watches made in small numbers and which seek to push the boundaries of how we see time. Their approach to watchmaking focuses on collaboration and bringing handcrafted methods to their futuristic ideas. Their Horological Machines are kinetic sculptures intended to tease out the imagination, displaying time in entirely unconventional ways. This HM4 is an ambitious interpretation of their mission, with its avantgarde, steampunk design.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe HM4 was introduced in 2010, and this Thunderbolt edition was their first release, winning the Best Concept and Design Prize at the GPHG Awards in that year. Inspired by Max Büsser's childhood pastime, assembling model aircraft, the watch is modelled after the A-10 plane, an American aircraft from the 1970s renowned for its design, particularly with regards to the twin jet engines mounted near the tail-end of the plane. In keeping with the aviator inspiration, the watch also gives the impression of a set of pilot goggles, further adding to its steampunk charm.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eUnlike its descendants, the Thunderbolt pares it down to the essentials. The case is constructed from several parts and materials, making this a complex piece to manufacture. Additionally, it combines angles and curves to great effect, with several artfully placed sapphire sections revealing more of the watch's inner workings and providing a retrofuturistic appearance. Despite its unconventional shape, the watch fits comfortably on the wrist thanks to the thinner, unusual hinge used for the strap. In the centre of the watch is another sapphire crystal section, with the balance wheel visible below. Two crowns are found at the ends of each of the \"engines\", with the one on the left to wind the watch, and the one on the right to aid in setting the time.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAt the time, Max Büsser called the HM4 MB\u0026amp;F's most legible watch to date, and this is evident when you take a glance at the engine openings of the watch, with the power reserve on the left and a simple time-only dial on the right. There is no trick to reading the time here, and significant inspiration is derived from pilot watches of the 40s. The dial is black, with white indexes, luminous arrow-shaped hands, and a triangle at 12 o'clock, all choices to enhance the legibility of the watch. Furthermore, the dials are set at an angle when the watch is worn, making it easy for the wearer to glance down and read the time.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe movement that powers this watch was developed over three years in conjunction with Laurent Besse and Beranger Reynard at Les Artisans Horlogers. It consists of 311 parts, and it makes use of dual mainspring barrels, which are connected to twin vertical gear trains, ensuring a smooth transfer of power. Turning the watch over reveals another sapphire caseback, allowing us to view the brushed surfaces of the parts, further pushing the industrial aesthetic of the overall piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eA Collected Man is a Pre-Owned Approved partner of MB\u0026amp;F, a relationship which stems from the deep appreciation we have for the work of Maximillian Büsser and his friends.

This watch is numbered #1, making it the first of the series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- SECTION BREAK --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded by Maximilian Büsser nearly twenty years ago, in 2005, MB\u0026amp;F have become known for their innovative, conceptual watches made in small numbers and which seek to push the boundaries of how we see time. Their approach to watchmaking focuses on collaboration and bringing handcrafted methods to their futuristic ideas. The latter idea is an integral part of MB\u0026amp;F's Legacy Machine series, of which this Legacy Machine Perpetual EVO belongs to. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen the LM3 Perpetual was released in 2015, it marked the first time MB\u0026amp;F took on a traditional high-complication, and executed it in their signature, forward-thinking style; making it a horological milestone in a space where only a handful of perpetual calendar variations existed. This example was released in 2020, and is a true limited edition of just 15 pieces, combining a zirconium case with a vibrant orange CVD dial. MB\u0026amp;F previously made use of zirconium in the HM3 Poison Dart Frog in 2012, but it is an unusual metal in watchmaking. However, its lightweight properties and lustrous appearance make it a good pairing for the updated look of the LM Perpetual. This watch is numbered #1, making it the first of the series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the LM3 Perpetual and as seen in this LM Perpetual EVO, watchmaker Stephen McDonnell reinvented the idea of the perpetual calendar, building on ideas seen in earlier examples of the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.acollectedman.com\/products\/mbandf-legacy-machine-lm2-rose-gold\"\u003eLegacy Machine\u003c\/a\u003e series. Just as the balance is raised above the dial in the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.acollectedman.com\/collections\/mb-f\/products\/buy-mbf-voutilainen-mojon-lm1-watch?variant=23315098115\"\u003eLegacy Machine 1\u003c\/a\u003e, the idea was to elevate the perpetual calendar displays above the mainplate. This required re-construction of the movement, as the posts used to support the dials stopped a traditional lever-system from operating. MB\u0026amp;F and Stephen McDonnell replaced the complex and delicate lever system, and opted instead, for a series of stacked gears. This neat approach not only enabled the free-spirited design of an open-worked dial, but had the added benefit of displaying the functions clearly and legibly on the dial side. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFurther to this, the calibre introduced a default length of 28-day months, as opposed to the traditional use of 31 days. With this, a “jump” of up to four days can be avoided at the end of certain months, making date switches more reliable, and ensuring each month would switch at the correct number of days. The calibre also makes use of an internal safety-system, deactivating the correctors at date changeovers, to spare the movement from accidental damage by its user. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe EVO edition of the LM Perpetual introduces some changes to the case, such as a no-bezel construction, with the sapphire crystal fused directly to the case. The shape of the pushers were also transformed from circular, protruding buttons to subtler oblong examples that ensured a sleeker case silhouette. Furthermore, MB\u0026amp;F added an annular dampener (FlexRing) between the case and movement, providing shock protection that is in keeping with the EVO’s desire to be a watch that accompanies the wearer through daily life. Despite its 44mm size, this lighter iteration sits remarkably well on the wrist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMB\u0026amp;F’s progressive, avant-garde style is most apparent in the open-worked dial, and in the floating effect of the raised discs. The brand’s signature 14mm “flying” balance is seen at the centre of the dial, while deep black sub-dials are found at 3, 6, 9 and 12 o’clock; displaying the day, month, date and time, respectively. The bright orange main-plate is decorated with a sun-ray pattern. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe movement is beautifully decorated with Côtes de Genève throughout.

Cased in titanium, this example is one of just 10 made in the metal, part of an already limited series. The watch is a notable collaboration between MB\u0026amp;F, designer Eric Giroud, movement engineer Laurent Besse, and independent watchmaker Peter Speake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- SECTION BREAK --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded by Maximilian Büsser nearly twenty years ago, in 2005, MB\u0026amp;F have become known for their innovative, conceptual watches made in small numbers and which seek to push the boundaries of how we see time. Their approach to watchmaking focuses on collaboration and bringing handcrafted methods to their futuristic ideas. Their Horological Machines are kinetic sculptures intended to tease out the imagination, displaying time in entirely unconventional ways. This HM1 marked the beginning of the brand's unique vision, featuring an unconventional case design and encapsulating their desire to merge traditional and modern aspects of watchmaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe HM1 was introduced in 2007, and its creation took the effort of several watchmakers and designers — from Max Büsser's initial sketches and inception of the piece, to designer Eric Giroud's efforts in transforming the watch from paper into 3D designs and then the involvement of movement engineer Laurent Besse and watchmaker Peter Speake-Marin in bringing the piece to life. The watch itself was inspired by \"the encounter of two worlds\", referencing the collaboration between different aspects of the craft. Notably, the movement not only features the \"Max Büsser and Friends\" signature, but Laurent Besse and Peter Speake-Marin's names are also placed on the movement, noting their contributions to the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn first glance, the watch brings to mind a cell undergoing division, with the polished titanium case possessing substantial heft and size on the wrist. Only 10 were made in this metal, out of an already limited release of just 100 pieces across the watch — other examples can be found in white gold, rose gold, and black PVD-coated white gold. Notably, the watch features a modular construction, allowing each part to be refurbished separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dial itself is semi-openworked, with metal and glass parts layered over each other in a way that creates visual depth and complexity, as time-telling aspects overlap with the tourbillon. The hours are placed on the left-most section, while the minutes are placed on the right. These both feature black printed information on discs, with skeletonised blued hands that indicate the information from 6 to 12 o'clock and 60 to 30 minutes respectively, framing the central tourbillon. These are complemented by raised discs, with the left printed with the MB\u0026amp;F logo and indexes that show the hours and minutes on a smaller scale. The disc on the right features a power reserve indicator, with a maximum of 175 hours, and a smaller arrow that tracks its depletion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEngineering a movement like the one found in the HM1 is a remarkable feat, and it marks the first time a movement was created with four barrels connected in parallel and in series. This was done to accommodate the design and layout of the watch, and to ensure that energy can be simultaneously transmitted from two sources to the regulating system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTurning the watch over, we see a yellow gold rotor that provides a splash of colour in an otherwise monochromatic colour scheme, and the theme of depth is continued as beautifully finished bridges are layered over each other, combining Geneva stripes with both polished and decorated wheels to great effect. Composed of 376 components, the watch is a complex product of thought and craft within the industry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- SECTION BREAK --\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCloser look \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eBrand:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eMB\u0026amp;F\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eModel:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eHorological Machine N°1 ref. 10.T41TL.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eMovement:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eautomatic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eFunctions:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003ehours, minutes, power reserve indicator, tourbillion\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003edisplay back\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eCase material:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003etitanium\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eCase diameter:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003e41mm x 64mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eCase thickness:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003e14mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eLug-to-lug:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003e48mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eCrystal:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003esapphire front \u0026amp; back\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eStrap:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eMB\u0026amp;F green fabric strap, MB\u0026amp;F titanium butterfly deployant\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eLug width:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003e25 x 24mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eYear:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003en\/a\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eAccompanying materials:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eMB\u0026amp;F outer box, satchel \u0026amp; inner metal box, instructions booklet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eCondition\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis MB\u0026amp;F Horological Machine N°1 is in very good overall condition.

This platinum example is an intriguing piece, with several updates being made to the movement to integrate the new system. A more classic take with the styling and colour configuration, this Sequential Flyback represents a significant instance of mechanical innovation in modern watchmaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- SECTION BREAK --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen MB\u0026amp;F first revealed the Legacy Machine Sequential Evo in 2022, the brand’s third major collaboration with Belfast-based watch designer Stephen McDonnell, it won the overall top prize, the Aiguille d’Or, at the year's Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG). The Sequential Evo represented an entirely different way of thinking about the chronograph, and in 2024, they expanded on this by introducing the Sequential Flyback, the instant-reset function originally used by pilots as far back as the 1930s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe platinum case features a polished bezel, satinated midcase and a polished display caseback secured by eight screws. In the midcase are the five polished square pushers as well as the crown. The lower pushers on either side of the watch are embossed with \"Flyback\". The short lugs, high-polished on the top, have brushed facets and profiles, and curve down dramatically to meet a black leather strap, each secured by three screws visible on the movement side of the case. They come together with a double-fold, spring-loaded clasp, signed with the brand mark. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe minimal bezel affords more real estate to the dial-free aesthetic under the domed crystal. The four-armed balance wheel is secured by the familiar twin-arm bridge that towers over the rest of the dial. North of it are the twin 30-minute counters, while to the south of the balance lie the two large chronograph seconds registers. These wear a similar layout – a chapter ring with black printed serif numerals and baton markers, while the centres show off the thoughtfully crafted mechanics underneath, with bridges and components mirroring each other's form. The chronograph minutes are tracked by blued hands in a classic style, with rounded counterweights. The base of the dial is a brushed deep blue, further complementing the blue accents throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlanked by the two chronograph seconds registers, at 6 o’clock, is the time-telling display. The register is the only solid one, and opposed to previous examples of the EVO line, the Sequential Flyback's time-telling display is placed at an angle, facing the wearer and placing it slightly separate from the chronograph functions, allowing for ease of reading. The classical motif is further continued as the dial features Roman numerals and the brand mark printed in black, in addition to black, arrow-tipped hands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMcDonnell’s innovation involves two independent vertical clutch chronographs linked by a Twinverter mechanism. While the chronographs can individually be engaged by their respective pushers, the fifth pusher at 9 o’clock governs the functioning of the chronographs when they need to be run in parallel to time to simultaneous events, or in sequence to time successive laps. The elegant solution affords a level of functionality that is absent even in most rattrapante chronographs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA significant change was made to accommodate the flyback complication, whose function essentially allows the wearer to stop, reset, and start a running chronograph via a single press, rather than having to use two pushers as on a traditional chronograph. This is particularly helpful in cases where you want to time the overall length of an event, but also need to keep track of shorter spans of time within that event.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe internal jewelling of the vertical clutches is core to this flyback chronograph, with McDonnell adding a special jewelled roller to the mechanism, and subsequently the number of jewels in the movement was increased from 59 to 63. Additionally, several of the levers and hammers have been rearranged to accommodate the new functions, while the power reserve indicator is in keeping with the more restrained, classic look of the dial, with a blued hand indicating the \"E\" (empty) and \"F\" (full).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe theme of symmetry, peaking from under the registers on the dial side, continues onto the movement side as well. The two large, thin-rimmed intermediate wheels of the chronograph sit atop the gold minute counter wheels as well as those of the twin going trains. Further down, secured by a single, irregularly shaped bridge, are the twin mainspring barrels, arranged vertically. They are slightly different in size, but this arrangement is crucial not just to providing the manual wind calibre with 72 hours of autonomy but also for accurate timekeeping even with both chronographs engaged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe larger bridges wear rhodium plating, giving them a darker appearance. They wear Côtes de Genève while the smaller, triangular bridges are mirror polished. All bridges bear sharp anglage and many of the visible jewels, such as the ones anchoring the mainspring barrels, are ensconced in gold chatons.
