In the world of haute horlogerie, few names command the respect and fascination that MB&F has earned over the past two decades. Today, we're thrilled to introduce you to a timepiece that perfectly encapsulates the brand's journey from maverick startup to horological powerhouse: the Legacy Machine 101 EVO.
A Legacy Refined for Modern Living
Since its debut in 2014, the Legacy Machine 101 has stood as one of MB&F's most beloved creations, striking the perfect balance between classical watchmaking heritage and contemporary innovation. Its iconic 14 mm "flying" balance wheel, suspended dramatically above the dial, has captivated collectors and enthusiasts alike. Now, in celebration of MB&F's 20th anniversary, this horological masterpiece receives the coveted EVO treatment—transforming it into the ultimate expression of active luxury.
These inaugural LM101 EVO editions arrive in a 40 mm titanium case with two stunning CVD-treated dial configurations: a warm salmon that speaks to connoisseurs of the unusual, and a mesmerizing peacock green that shifts through hues of emerald, sapphire, and amethyst as light dances across its surface. Both variations showcase MB&F's commitment to pushing boundaries—even in the details that matter most to discerning collectors. The watches are equipped with integrated grey or white rubber straps with titanium folding buckle.
The EVO series represents MB&F's answer to the modern collector's lifestyle—those who appreciate the artistry of haute horlogerie but demand the durability to wear their passion pieces beyond the boardroom. With 80-meter water resistance, a screw-down crown, and the innovative FlexRing shock protection system, the LM101 EVO is built for life's adventures without compromising its mechanical poetry.
Engineering Excellence Evolved & Price
Beyond its striking aesthetics lies a movement that pays homage to 19th-century finishing traditions while incorporating 21st-century enhancements. The manual wound calibre now delivers an impressive 60-hour power reserve, while the darkened bridges and contemporary treatments give this historic art form a decidedly modern edge. Every component, from the gold chatons to the hand-polished bevels, reflects the meticulous attention to detail that has made MB&F a benchmark for independent watchmaking.
For those who live and breathe horology, the new MB&F LM101 EVO represents more than just another limited-production piece—it's a celebration of everything that makes mechanical watchmaking magical. The titanium construction ensures comfortable daily wear, while the integrated rubber straps (available in white or grey) provide the versatility that today's watch enthusiasts demand.
