The ‘wristwatch with double stopwatch’ (as it was originally known by the Bundeswehr – the German armed forces – during the 1960s), was sold only in very limited quantities during the 1980s and early 1990s. The traditional bicompax chronograph is now one of the most sought-after collector’s watches from Sinn.

Press Release: MB&F Legacy Machine Perpetual Yellow Gold.



SINGAPORE, 30 JANUARY 2019 – In 15 years at MB&F, only one Machine has ever been crafted from yellow gold: the LM101 Frost YG. Today, five years later, MB&f makes a comeback to this beautiful precious metal with the Legacy Machine Perpetual Yellow Gold!



First launched in 2015, the LM Perpetual series is one of MB&F’s best sellers – awarded Best Calendar Watch at the 2016 Grand Prix (GPHG) – with previous limited editions in white gold, red gold, platinum and titanium. The vast majority of these variations are sold out; it was time to introduce a new 18k yellow gold case with a deep blue face, limited to just 25 pieces.

Developed in collaboration with independent Irish watchmaker Stephen McDonnell, the 581-component LM Perpetual movement completely reinvented the perpetual calendar complication, eliminating the usual drawbacks such as skipping dates or jamming gears. The calibre was designed from scratch for trouble-free, user-friendly use. Its secret? A default 28-day month that adds extra days only as required. But putting aside the remarkable technical aspects of this Machine, it’s the open dial revealing the full complication and suspended balance wheel that really steal the show.

The Hour Glass is the exclusive retailer of MB&F in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and Australia.

G-SHOCK releases three new limited models based on the Japanese “Manekineko”, widely known as the fortune cat, which is believed to be a lucky charm that brings fortune and good luck. The fortune cat is identified by its beckoning motion and is traditionally outfitted in a red apron, green collar and gold bell. These colours are incorporated in the design of the line-up of watches, which also feature imagery of cats and “koban” (old Japanese oval gold coins).
