A large, 14mm “flying” balance wheel, unique vertical power reserve indicator, and dual time zones, which are completely independent, are the main features of this visionary masterpiece.
It is the first piece of work by MB&F to combine the finest-finished movement, created by Jean-François Mojon and Kari Voutilainen, with a round case, and can therefore be considered a tribute to traditional watchmaking; it epitomizes the authentic, three-dimensional MB&F Machine.
It is no surprise then, that LM1 was awarded the Public Prize (voted by horology fans) and the Best Men’s Watch Prize (voted by a jury) at the 2012 Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève.
Legacy Machine N° 1 by MB&F

The three-dimensional horological movement has been developed for MB&F by Jean-François Mojon and Kari Voutilainen.
How does it work
The superb machine features a unique vertical power reserve, indicates hours and minutes, and offers completely independent dual time zones displayed on two dials. There is a left crown at 8 o’clock for setting time of the left dial and a right crown at 4 o’clock for setting time of the right dial and winding.
Legacy Machine N°1 Final edition is an extraordinary work of art produced by the creativity and forward-thinking genius of Maximilian Büsser and Friends, bringing the LM1 series to a close. Once again, the talented creators of MB&F have succeeded in reinterpreting traditional high-quality watchmaking into three-dimensional kinetic sculptures.
