Catalogue Essay
- Launched in 2014, the Legacy Machine 101 is an extraordinary construction focusing on the most basic elements of a wristwatch, that pays tribute to historic timepieces, seamlessly capturing Max Busser’s unique and extraordinary aesthetics inspired by Sci-Fi pop culture.
- The LM101 is the first three-dimensional horological movement developed in-house by MB&F, and it was created under aesthetics and finishing specifications by master watchmaker Kari Voutilainen, making sure that the watch is mechanically and aesthetically perfected at the highest standard. The present watch also exudes timeless elegance with the time display, with two white lacquered sub-dials. One at the 2 o’clock for hours and minutes, and a smaller one at 6 o’clock for power reserve. In equal measure, the transparent case back on the watch reveals the exquisite hand-finishings, and makes a spectacle of the beautiful movement with chamfered bridges decorated with Côtes de Genève, gold chatons and countersunk blued screws, testifying to the respect accorded to the heritage of traditional watchmaking.
- The present iteration of LM101 from circa 2023 is offered by its original owner and is in excellent overall condition. Made for collectors of innovative and independent timepieces, it is a phenomenal timepiece perfect for any collection of fine and eclectic independent watchmaking.
