Two watches, four dials...

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.

The LM 1 is outstanding.
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.
That would be...
...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....
Well, I find it " younger " " funnier " and certainly, as a consequence...
Less arrogant than the other... Best, Nicolas
Two beautiful creations...
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
You would not find it confusing, Mo...
...when it is on the wrist. Of course, that might be because you will be overcome with feverish lust! ;-) Joking to one side, it sits well, 'works' well and is surprisingly low-key (well, as low-key as any MB&F watch can be!) in the metal. Cheers, pplater...
The LM1 is absolutely stunning...
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
As a fan of the LM1, sandgroper...
... you will be delighted to hear that there is a LM2 on the cards. Precisely what its theme might be is anybody's guess: you will be doing very well indeed if you can prise that news out of Max! Cheers, pplater.
They share a lot of common points...
And especially the way to use the second dial as another timezone display. The ressemblance between the Resonance and the LM1 was often pointed out. Thanks for the picture! Fx
Shall we make it a 'hat-trick', Fx?...
Here is the Father of both the Resonance and the LM1, courtesy Max and FPJ: [photo from Harry Winston web page] Cheers, pplater....
They obviously belong to the same family...
As FPJ adapted 3 of his watches to create the 3 Opus 1. I would say that the Opus 1 is the son of the Resonance and of one HW Excenter. Fx
Funny...
While I found it 'affordable', the design left me cold. Congrats on your current purchase. cen@jkt ps. I, too, have a new watch
To be clear, cen...
The LM1 is not a 'current purchase'. Yet, anyway... ;-) But you have news to share??? Don't keep us in suspense! Cheers, pplater.
is this Horo's LM1?
Very impressive piece. I have not seen the F.P. Journe piece before, but I have heard about it. Thanks for sharing these wonders.
No...
The RG is inventory at an AD. The WG is Max' own watch, seen during his recent swing through Australia. The Resonance is the property of a yob Purist. ;-) Cheers, pplater.
Very nice, FPJ...
...but the LM1 is a sexy beast. I hope I have an opportunity to see it in person soon. Thanks for the picture! Cheers, Daos
Here’s more ...
My sincere thanks for getting these two watches together, Pplater. It has been my goal since talking to Max about the LM1 last year. He has a great appreciation for the work of Mr Journe, and of course there is a long association as you point out. Click H...
