Pplater's post showcases a rare side-by-side comparison of two horological 'cousins': the F.P. Journe Chronomètre à Résonance and the MB&F Legacy Machine No.1 (LM1). This visual pairing highlights the shared lineage and distinct interpretations of complex mechanisms, inviting discussion on their design philosophies and collector appeal.

At Andrew’s insistence, a photo of two cousins who share more than a likeness (as anyone familiar with the Harry Winston Opus story will understand). Thanks to a friend for the snap; apologies for the iPhone quality. The LM1 is said to be one of only three still available through ADs for the next 3 years!
Cheers,
pplater.
I still remember my first real experience with the LM 1 at the Salon des Belles Montres, in Paris. Max showed me the white metal version, and the impression was excellent! Best, pplater. Nicolas.
...this one, then? Agreed, Amanico - it is the more seemingly 'sophisticated' of the two, even allowing for our white metal prejudices. Keep well chum. Cheers, pplater.
Less arrogant than the other... Best, Nicolas
...or to the two of us??? ;-) Cheers, pplater.
