The Legacy Machine, the LM101.........

Luxury watch retailer The Hour Glass recently hosted a dinner while Max Busser was in town to show us his latest addition to the family of Legacy Machines, the LM101. The embargo was lifted yesterday and I am pleased to share some images of this amazing watch. The LM 101 movement is developed in-house with Kari Voutilainen.

The LM101 comes in a smaller case of 40mm and here is a comparison with the 44mm LM2 that Max brought along. 

The hour and minute subdial is at the 2 o’clock position with the power reserve indicator at 6 o’clock. A huge balance wheel sitting on a V shaped arch bridge oscillates at 18,000vph above the dial. The DNA of the Legacy Machines is evident in this creation, without the complications. At a more wearable size and a lower price point, this is a watch that a collector can start his collection of MB&F timepieces with.  More info can be found here: http://mbandf.com/machines/legacy-machines/lm101/#/collection

A view of the dome shape crystal. Unfortunately the light was poor and it’s a challenge for me to take a good shot. I hope to take pics again when the watch is available in future.

It is indeed an aesthetically pleasing movement with well finished bridges and gold chatons. This movement is developed entirely in-house. Only 30 pieces each in white and rose gold will be manufactured per year. It retails at S$85,200.

 My thanks to The Hour Glass for hosting this dinner. It was great meeting Max again and truly a an enjoyable evening seeing the LM101 close-up!
