Description

MB&F's Legacy Machine series draws inspiration from the old masters: Abraham-Louis Breguet (1747-1823), Ferdinand Berthoud (1727-1807) and Antide Janvier (1751-1835). Reflected in the elegant double flying balance wheels that form the distinctive centerpoint of the LM2, MB&F pays homage to the work these watchmaking pioneers did on dual regulators. This piece in 18 karat white gold comes with a purple dial and black leather strap. Limited to 12 pieces.

MB&F celebrates the pioneering works of past masters and complications with Legacy Machine No.2.

Suspended high above the dial, the double “flying” balances are in fact the most visible parts of two fully independent regulating systems, each beating at its own rate. The planetary differential sits proud of the surface, supported by a stunning double-arc mirror-polished bridge. The complex differential is the key element in the double regulator system: the rates are averaged out by the mechanism, which drives the blued hour and minute hands of the white stretched-lacquer sub dial. To make things just a bit more complicated, the two flying balances and their escapements are identical mirror images, right down to the position of the stud holders pinning their balance springs.
