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.
I always liked the Resonance,and the LM1 is definitely a captivating watch.The only note is that the balance wheel covers the 2 dials a bit ,,its a bit confusing but but beautiful watch.....Rg is def my fav. Mo
Less arrogant than the other... Best, Nicolas
I am not a great fan of other MB&F models but this LM1 is magical, mesmerising, the mouvement too...sublime! Thank you Kind regards Francois
...or to the two of us??? ;-) Cheers, pplater.
