Jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) shares his excitement about acquiring his first independent timepiece, the MB&F Legacy Machine 101. This post highlights the LM101's appeal, particularly its 40mm size, which makes it accessible to collectors with smaller wrists who previously found MB&F's other models too large. Robin's initial impressions and photos offer a glimpse into the unique design and craftsmanship of this horological machine.

My first Indie! I have admired Max and MB&F watches for awhile but the Horological Machines and Legacy Machines 1 and 2 were too big for my small wrist.
With the LM 101's introduction, I finally have an MB&F I can wear at 40mm.

Fx, your review some months ago also poisoned me to this watch!  :p

Some initial photos to share here when I collected the watch. I will find some time to take better photos of the dial (beautiful white lacquered sub dials that look a bit translucent) and beautiful movement finished by Kari!

Cheers
Robin

Bravo! Robin

A marvelous looking watch; a fantastic move. The design is very avant-garde, with a clean but striking appearance that is so simple yet appropiately complicated. I admire independent watch manufacturers, but never have the courage to get one. Since my watch quota has been suspended for the time being, I am more than happy to see fellow Purists sharing your lovely timepieces. As my wife said: "People go to museums because they can see those priceless masterpieces with inexpensive tickets. If one

Or her sister? I heat the same thing at my house. Cazalea

I highly suspect that there is a secret organization

called "The Union of Watch Lovers' Wives", where information and tactics of "anti- watch buying" are shared.
