Good to know:
- Movement created by Jean-François Mojon and Kari Voutilainen
- Offered in “like-new” condition with full set of accessories

- The Legacy Machine is the epitome of the philosophy of MB&F. Not only is the watch a technical marvel that changes the way one looks and thinks about timepieces, but in traditional fashion of the firm, the movement was created by “friends” Jean-François Mojon and Kari Voutilainen.

- The Legacy Machine No.1 is a dual-time wristwatch that changes the overall aesthetic of traditional horology most prominently with the oversized balance wheel front and center on the dial and a three-dimensional power indicator that rises from the dial at the 6 o’clock position, which Busser himself said was based on the sextant.

- The single mainspring powers the two independent dials, each having its own setting crown with only the right side crown for winding the watch. The watch was produced in pink gold and white gold, a limited edition of 33 pieces in platinum, a special 13 pieces in titanium for the M.A.D Gallery in Dubai, and a series of 18 pieces in stainless steel.

- The present example is in “like-new” condition and complete with accessories. It is a towering monument to both the artistic genius of MB&F, as well as those great inventors of the late 19th century.
