There are watches that tell time, and then there are art-pieces that display time. The MB&F Legacy Machine LM101 belongs firmly to the latter category—a creation that transcends horology and enters the realm of art, engineering, and imagination.
The LM101 is MB&F distilled to its essence: a celebration of traditional watchmaking reinterpreted through futuristic design. At its heart floats the suspended balance wheel, a kinetic sculpture that dominates the dial, reminding us that time is not just measured—it is lived. The vivid blue dial radiates depth and sophistication, while the daring orange strap injects a burst of modern energy, making this piece both avant‑garde and wearable.
The watch showcases masterfully executed, the center of the show, the flying balance wheel that inherits a double hairspring, and a delightfully encased movement, finished and decorated with the help of master watchmaker Kari Voutilainen. The dial features time, the power reserve, and the iconic, open-worked escapement inside a very wearable 40mm case with a stunning domed crystal exhibiting the three-dimentionality of the dial.
