this is the first watch I bought in 2012, and I am still very much in love with it
i can say with confidence that I wouldn't tire of it, and the watch has longevity in affection and thrill.
It bridges the traditional movement finishing with modernity in concept, marrying it with a art-deco 1920s adventurism(like you pointed out in reference to the feeling it evokes)
i struggled to decide between the WG and the more popular RG, and decided in the latter. I imagine the WG wold fit right at home with my other MBFs, and look more avant garde, but to me...truer to the concept of the design brief of the watch...its should be YG, and RG is close alternative. i just hope Max doesn't do one in titanium or PVD coated etc.
thanks for the pictures and your thoughts.
best,

MB&F the LM1 ... some views ...thoughts ...
Let me start with a picture that came to my mind when I sa w it for the first time ... ... one from the World Exhibition - P aris 1889. Maybe I s pent too much time with reading about that time, recently :-) The watch was presented in 2011 and caught my a...
Love at first sight.
If I could afford one MBF, it would be this one. Not that I am insensible to others MBF creations, but I don't have the style of life nor the wrist for them. But this one is something. Less exuberant than the others, more conventional, certainly, the conc...
So it makes two MBFs? One for me, one for you. Max...
Any solid reductions for us? :) :) :) Best, Nicolas
My fav version is the PG one.
I find it very luminous. The LM1 is what I call a retro-neo watch and not a neo-retro. It is an innovative watch which could have been created in the past. When we analyse it, we can find a lot of common points with the HM4. Yes, yes! Thanks for your post...
Sunny side up eggs for me too!
Well Oliver, you made a very nice encounter there. The balance wheel structure is indeed inspired from Eiffel creations. I saw it last year during the Belles montres in Paris (and hope to see it again this year). The WG version is my favorite too. As you ...
Feels like yesterday...
hard to believe it's almost been a year since we checked out the Mad Gallery. Thanks again for showing me around Geneva, and I hope all is well with you, Oliver! Best, Chris ...
Hey Chris ...
it was my pleasure and I hope you are fine as well. You did an addictive trip, you spent lots of time at PuristS ... still fine? :-) Oliver
Still doing fine
You are right, it was an addictive trip... can't wait to visit Europe again one day! Let me know if you ever visit Vancouver, maybe I can return the favour :) All the best, Chris

the design could be considered restrained compared to other models
But it is all the nicer because of that i think. I really like MB&F designs, but many are 'in your face'. This is a pleasant change without being boring. I am very interested as to how they managed to have 2 dials with totally seperate time capability whi...
