Description
The first legacy machine was introduced in 2011 – a whole new dimension to the brand which was, until then making only the very-conventional Horological Machines. The Legacy Machine was Max Busser’s love letter to the godfathers of mechanical watches such as Ferdinand Berthoud, Jules Verne, Gustave Eiffel and Antide Janvier among the other greats. Max Büsser teamed up with Kari Voutilainen and Jean-François Mojon to create the Legacy Machine 1 – a conventional timepiece in terms of case design, but a very unconventional representation of time and movement construction. Technically it was still an MB&F from outer space but in a traditional case. This caught the world off-guard.
It has been over a decade since then and we have seen the LM family evolve into 10 different models, each outperforming its predecessor.
