Established in 2005 by Maximillian Büsser, MB&F has created some of the most exciting and technically advanced horological timepieces on the market today. His futuristic “horological machines” were first released in 2007, and as the firm’s name indicates, developed in collaboration with “friends”. In 2011, Büsser released the now-iconic Legacy Machine collection. The first LM1 was inspired by 19th century pocket watches, creating the perfect fusion between the past and the future. The LM1 was the first MB&F wristwatch to incorporate a round-shaped case. It featured a high-domed sapphire crystal and two separate dials were used for its dual time zone indication. Sandwiched in between is a visually striking and mechanically sound “flying balance” suspended via two arches. In 2015, MB&F introduced a perpetual calendar variant, the Legacy Machine Perpetual, with a ground-breaking movement designed by Irish watchmaker Stephen McDonnell. It offered significant improvements to eliminate the fragile drawbacks and gear jams tied to the conventional perpetual calendar mechanism. The brand introduced the Legacy Machine Perpetual EVO in 2021 in a zirconium case and later, a titanium case. The present, titanium-cased example is fitted with a highly desirable and attractive green dial plate, fabricated using Chemical Vapor Deposition, or CVD. The 44mm diameter case features a new profile emphasising openness and clarity, with a newly developed “Flex-Ring” monobloc shock absorbing system to protect the perpetual calendar. A revolutionary mechanical processor uses a default 28-day month calendar, which adds extra days when required so there is no need to skip redundant days. Additionally, the calendar can be set with ergonomic correctors that remove the need for any special tools. The present watch is offered for the first time at auction, consigned by the original owner. It is a watch that is both an evolution of the brand, but also that of the wearer who is the navigator of their own life, with a bold, technical aesthetic that exudes confidence. Preserved in like new condition, it is accompanied with all of its original accessories and an extra white strap. PROPERTY OF THE ORIGINAL OWNER
