Nice summary!
I really love the Legacy Machine series. Initially wanted one prior to COVID, but then prices went nuts. When I saw the chronograph pop up at a "reasonable" price, I grabbed it immediately without hesitation. Ridiculously practical watch in the EVO format. Comfy, shock resistant and waterproof...you don't usually get that with high horology! I've mostly been surprised by the comfort of the deployant.
-Wish I had the one with the angled dial and better executed hands. Not a huge deal, and I guess the new one is way more expensive, but I can dream lol
-The dials on the EVO variants are not as exciting as the regular versions, which feature nicely lacquered dials with numerals that appear to "float"
-MORE STRAPS OPTIONS!!! I have black rubber incoming and the white rubber....but a sailcloth pattern rubber at the very least would do a LOT here.

The MB&F Legacy Machines
Since I presented the complete MB&F Horological Machines this morning, I thought it would be interesting to also review the entire line of Legacy Machines to date. Here is the comprehensive list of all 14 models covered below in chronological order: Legac...
Wonderful post Emmanuel!
If I had to choose only one, it would be the grey dial LM 1. All the best Nicolas

Thanks for sharing these wonderful photos of your impressive timepiece and your feedback!
I hear your complaints, but your watch is quite something nonetheless. Best, Emmanuel
I am really in awe of these M.B. & F Legacy Machines.
In these watches I really am more drawn to the not gold watches and especially the blue and green dials, with so many being shown I really can't pick a favourite and it would take a long time to do so. After your previous post I really appreciate being ab...
I’m glad you enjoy the post, Marc.
Making it was interesting for me: I was surprised to discover how much Kari Voutilainen has done for this series. However working on these timepieces also confirmed how little they speak to me personally. But I understand the appeal nonetheless and can se...
I really like every single one!
With the exception of the super-domed versions, I'd wear any of them! And these things really sell very well! I have a very good relationship with the Press Office at MB&F and they never have any to loan to press! Because the dealers are taking every ...
I'm not surprised that they are so successful.
Endless creativity and watchmaking of great quality. That said, I don't feel attracted at all, personally. Not the kind of watchmaking that speaks to me. But interesting nonetheless. Best, Emmanuel
Might Post ❤️, I liked this one too...
MB&F LM1 Silberstein Limited Edition Source: MB&F, Quill & Pad, Monochrome, Ablogtowatch ...
Thank you so much, Salman!
I decided to set aside these very special editions, but they're mentioned in the retrospective by Monochrome: https://monochrome-watches.com/retrospective-all-mbandf-legacy-machine-since-2011-teaser-lmx/ Best, Emmanuel
Wow, makes me feel all 'giddy' like a kid. Each one a mechanical marvel and fantastic feast for the soul.
Thx for posting. EPIC!!! So, what's next? Any ideas? Asking for a friend 😎 . . . . .. . . ...
Oh..... my.... goodness. The love and passion you kindly gave to all of us here at WPS with those wonderful posts....
.... a most humble thanks my friend. They're so wonderful that i've bookmarked them both, too, to send to the many who ask me about.... Enjoy your time Emmanuel.
Another great post, Quattro!
Thanks for the fun trip through LM history. Makes me miss my LM101. Hope to own the perpetual one day. Terrific watches!
I wish you the best for the perpetual!
It would be a great "replacement" for your 101! Best, Emmanuel
Very well done, Emmanuel …
You have make this forum more informative and a one stop place for future reference. Thank you. PS: Do you include collaboration models? There are two new perpetual calendars released during Dubai Watch Week, one with baguettes,super nice.
Thank you so much, it's exactly how I feel about this forum:
we're building together an informative and reference place and I like that a lot. I included neither the very special editions nor all variants of each model: the post is huge enough and dealing with so much information requires a lot of concentration... ...
LM serie is the proof that MB&F can make classic watches ( in their own way)
McDonnell took the machine to an upper level. I love them all, but if I could choose one MB&F, it would be a HM because those artworks are the symbol of Max creativity and vision
Each model is quite special indeed
and for someone who likes this aesthetic and creative watchmaking the choice is touch indeed. Best, Emmanuel
Fabulous post!!!
There was such a fellow with a wondrous collection who could have ticked off many of those boxes…D.J. where are you bro?
Thank you so much, Myles!
Your D.J. seems to be a first class MB&F 'ambassador' (I mean dedicated collector of course). Best, Emmanuel
Great work, Emmanuel.
Thanks for putting these togther. I love the LM Perpetual, esp the later ones with rectangular (vs circular) pushers, as well as the Perpetual EVO but these are too big for me. The LM 101 fits better on me, I should find time to try on the 101 EVO too.
Thank you so much, Goh!
I wish you the best for chasing the LM 101 (or EVO)! Hopefully, you'll make it! Best, Emmanuel
