MB&F Legacy Machines LM1

The LM101 represents a significant entry point into the Legacy Machine collection, distinguishing itself as the first Legacy Machine to feature a movement developed entirely in-house by MB&F. It distills the core aesthetic of the Legacy Machine series into a more compact and focused presentation, emphasizing the suspended balance wheel and the distinct sub-dials for time and power reserve. This reference aims to offer a more intimate experience with the brand's horological philosophy. The watch features a case typically crafted from 18k red gold or 18k white gold, measuring 40mm in diameter. The movement, visible through the sapphire crystal case back, is a manual-winding caliber designed by Kari Voutilainen for the aesthetic finish and Stephen McDonnell for the technical architecture. It offers a power reserve of 45 hours. The prominent domed sapphire crystal provides a clear view of the dial-side mechanics. This reference appeals to collectors seeking a purer expression of MB&F's Legacy Machine concept, with its focus on traditional horology and a more restrained size compared to some other models in the series. It serves as a foundational piece within the Legacy Machine lineup, showcasing the brand's commitment to both innovative design and classical watchmaking principles. Various dial finishes and case materials have been offered.
