Independents

MB&F just announced three new colourful (that's 'colorful' to you Yanks) – and very limited – editions of the award-winning LM Perpetual: the ‘Chromatic’ Editions, featuring bezels set with baguette-cut gemstones. The first two editions are crafted in 18k white gold and feature bezels set with either blue or purple sapphires, sourced from Madagascar and Sri Lanka. The third edition is crafted in 18k rose gold and features a bezel set with red rubies from Mozambique. Each bezel is traced by an elegant line of 48 baguette-cut gemstones, all set by hand by the skilled team at our trusted Friend STG Creation in Geneva — a perfect frame for the complex perpetual calendar calibre, achieved without increasing the diameter of the case.

The new pieces are also distinguished by PVD-treated hands matched to their gemstones or case colour (color, po-tay-toe, po-tot-o); purple for the purple sapphires, blue for the blue sapphires, and 5N PVD for the red ruby edition, echoing the tone of the rose gold case. Bringing together the horological complexity of the groundbreaking perpetual calendar calibre created by Stephen McDonnell with the sophistication of colourful gemstones, these new editions are limited to just 8 pieces each – making them among the rarest LM Perpetuals ever crafted.

PS: Wife said the RG / ruby would look best on my wrist. 

PPS: Love the black 'subdials'.
