Catalogue Essay

In 2011, MB&F launched the now-iconic Legacy Machine collection, a departure from its avant-garde designs, inspired by the elegance of 19th-century pocket watches. The first Legacy Machine, the LM1, marked the brand’s first round-cased wristwatch, featuring a high-domed sapphire crystal, dual time zone dials, and the visually arresting "flying balance wheel," suspended by two sculptural arches—a perfect fusion of past and future. In 2015, MB&F unveiled the Legacy Machine Perpetual, a groundbreaking perpetual calendar designed in collaboration with Irish watchmaker Stephen McDonnell. This revolutionary movement addressed the fragility and mechanical limitations of traditional perpetual calendars, introducing a robust and innovative system that eliminated gear jams and other common issues.

In 2021, MB&F introduced the Legacy Machine Perpetual EVO, a sportier evolution of the model, featuring a zirconium case and later, a titanium case. The present example, crafted in lightweight titanium, is paired with a striking green dial plate created using Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD), giving it a vibrant and dynamic finish. Its revolutionary mechanical processor uses a default 28-day month, adding days as needed, eliminating the need to skip redundant days manually. Ergonomic correctors allow for easy adjustments without special tools, enhancing practicality. This timepiece is not only a testament to MB&F’s technical ingenuity but also a bold statement of individuality, embodying the spirit of those who navigate life with confidence. Preserved in like-new condition and accompanied by its original accessories, this watch represents a rare opportunity to own a masterpiece of modern horology. Please note that MB&F generously offers a complementary servicing of the watch to the winning bidder within a period of 6 months after the sale.
