My view of the MB&F Legacy Machine 2.

The Legacy Machine 1, which was unveiled two years ago, is a very important watch for Max Büsser. Indeed, it not only marks the beginning of a new collection but it explores territories and  embodies ideas that are not so clearly addressed with the Horological Machines. If these latter are a representation of modernity or of what could be the  future of watchmaking being daring creators of trends, the Legacy Machine 1 operates in a different register. Rather than imagining the next steps  of watchmaking from our vision of the contemporary world, it adopts the same forward-looking approach but by placing its starting point a century earlier. This is why it combines traditional classical dimension, with a singular character as evidenced by the impressive suspended balance wheel, visible dial side, the three-dimensional power reserve indicator or the sub-dials, which are a  glmpse of the displays of Horological Machines. The beauty of the movement and its flawless presentation pay homage to the pocket watches of the beginning of the previous century renowned for their ability to combine aesthetics and performance. The irresistible charm of the Legacy Machine 1 has all these ingredients, the combination ends up creating a Jules Verne atmosphere.
