A success, with some reservations
It's fantastic to see an MB&F watch that is designed for comfortable wear, clocking with a modest diameter and manageable case thickness. It's more accessible, without being more affordable. The movement finishing on the rear could be better, and I wish movement finishing on expensive, low production watches was simply done to the high standards of yesteryear, without testing if the client and the media will notice when it is dialed back.
MB&F is a leader in Independent watchmaking. A few interior angles on the rear, where the corners were rounded, would have made a statement that cutting corners in finishing is not today's expectation. This is tacit approval to all Independents to follow in the footsteps of the industrial giants like Patek. If collectors who buy do not care, we'll see a lower standard across watches that are priced close to six figures.
MB&F Special Project One . . .
You may have seen this teaser on MB&F’s instagram post: “An elegant, time-only, 38mm timepiece” would be release today. Well, here it is (photos courtesy of their instagram post): Two different options: 1.) Platinum: 2.) Rose Gold: We’re looking at a ...
I heard some now say it's too small, lol....what a difficult crowd to please.
So, for these new MB&F, no more "Kari Inside"?
Never been a fan of this brand because...
...of the size and what I see as a 'gimmicky' design. This is much better. But I also don't want to see my hairy arm.
Very nice! Pricy but nice!
Can't help but smile when I see these! Hairy arms and all! Reminds me of Rimowa's see-through suitcase! ...
This watch is so ugly!
Reminds me of a Vincent Calebrese without the ethereal qualities. Looks like it should be worth less than 10k. MB&F has lost its way in my opinion. Oh well.
I like it.
If nothing else, it adds more traditional variety in their catalogue. I prefer the rose gold execution.... Cheers, Filip
I like it as a concept.
Hard to fault, the dimensions are on point, not much concerned about the hairy wrists, however it’s just to fragile(judging by the pictures) and I don’t see this design to stand the test of time. Most MB&F watches are awesome, but only from a far… P.S. Th...
i truly want to love this, but there feels like something in missing. Decoration that brings added fun, plus the wheels are missing inner shaping / polishing.
It is a very good design, yet the fun-filled Joker in me is a purple LM101 i hope to acquire at some point.
Lovely looking watch in a wearable size!
I have been reading the comments and I think when we hear of MB&F, we automatically program our minds to expect something extraordinary. This watch falls into a new category hence its classification under Special Projects. It will appeal to a wider au...
Lovely watches 👌🏻👍🏻
While I thoroughly enjoy seeing the movement like this I am still on the fence about seeing my wrist through the watch 😁🤷🏻♂️
Not a fan of the transparent look
I love the way they openwork their other pieces though…
