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.

The MB&F Legacy Machine LMX Titanium Green is a stunning limited edition watch that combines exceptional design with innovative technology. The watch is a collaboration between the Swiss luxury watchmaker MB&F and the high-end independent watchmaker H. Moser & Cie.

The watch features a sleek titanium case that measures 44mm in diameter and 21.4mm in thickness, making it comfortable to wear on the wrist. The striking green dial is made of sapphire crystal and features a unique sunburst pattern that reflects light beautifully. The dial is also partially skeletonized, allowing a glimpse of the watch’s intricate movement.

The watch is powered by an impressive manual-winding movement, the LMN04, which was developed in-house by MB&F. The movement is made up of 496 components and offers a power reserve of up to 72 hours. The movement is visible through the sapphire crystal caseback, which is also adorned with a beautiful hand-engraved design.

The Legacy Machine LMX Titanium Green also features a unique suspended balance wheel that appears to float above the dial. The balance wheel is supported by a single arched bridge that is inspired by the shape of a Gothic arch. This design element adds to the watch’s overall aesthetic appeal and also serves to enhance its accuracy.

Only 33 pieces of the MB&F Legacy Machine LMX Titanium Green were produced, making it an extremely rare and collectible timepiece. Each watch comes with a alligator strap and is presented in a beautiful box.
