There's an undeniable allure when it comes to MB&F watches, a brand that never ceases to amaze. Every mention of MB&F conjures up images of impeccable craftsmanship, seamlessly blending the past with futuristic designs. Their latest offering, the Legacy Machine No2 in White Gold with a Purple dial, is no exception. When you think of purple, the grandeur of emperors from bygone eras comes to mind. Despite the fall of empires, like the Romans, the majesty of the color purple remains untouched and eternal.
Every hue we see, from vibrant reds to deep violets, lies within the visible spectrum of human perception. As we marvel at the rich shade of purple, it's fascinating to realize that this color represents the highest frequency of light that our eyes can discern.
Similarly, the Legacy Machine No.2 is positioned at the zenith of the watchmaking spectrum. Unveiled in 2013, this masterpiece set new standards, pushing the boundaries of conventional watchmaking techniques. Today, with its mesmerizing purple dial, LM2 remains a testament to innovation, beckoning all to dive deep into its horological depths.
Crafted from exquisite white gold, reminiscent of its original launch version, the LM2 offers a hypnotic view of its intricate workings. With a dial achieved through Chemical Vapour Deposition (CVD), the watch displays dynamic color variations, from deep violets to electric plasma purple, depending on the angle of light.
The movements and designs of the Legacy Machine No.2 have been meticulously crafted to MB&F’s exacting standards. Renowned watchmakers Jean-François Mojon and Kari Voutilainen have combined their expertise to ensure this timepiece echoes the splendor of 19th-century horology while integrating cutting-edge technology.
Hand-finishing, meticulous Geneva waves, gold chatons, and intricately beveled bridges are all hallmarks of the movement's impeccable design. True to MB&F's commitment to transparency, the names of Mojon and Voutilainen are engraved on the watch, paying homage to their exceptional craftsmanship.
In a world dominated by advanced CAD software and precision CNC machines, the complexity of crafting high-end mechanical watches remains a challenge. The artistry behind regulating a movement for optimum timekeeping across multiple positions remains unparalleled.
Historically, pioneers like Berthoud, Breguet, and Janvier made significant strides with dual regulators to enhance timekeeping accuracy. The fact that only a limited number of these pieces were crafted underlines the enormous effort and precision required.
MB&F’s Legacy Machine No.2 revives this age-old tradition, fusing ancient craftsmanship with modern innovation. Launched first in 2013 and redesigned in 2017, the latest White Gold Purple edition is limited to just 12 exquisite pieces.
