Laurent Picciotto had chosen for himself the LM1 in RG.

I agree with him that in the rationale of this creation RG fits better to the Historical thematic.

WG is more discreet, but I fear to find it boring with time.
It is just my personal point of view.

Take time to find yours in confidence.

A great watch with incredible finishings.

Best regards,

Patrick

A try with the Legacy Machine 101

Hi everyone, I've been visiting my AD recently and could try a few watches including the new entry level MB&F, the LM101, in white gold. First, let me remind that we all know that watches look better in the metal than on pictures. But there still are ...  

Hmm it is more tempting than ever

But I'll wait as I always do to pass the "excitation period" we have when we discover an interesting new watch, to be sure it is something that will last. I liked the HMs but not really enough to buy one. I liked the LM1 but maybe not comfy enough for my ... 

The LM 101 looks really cool on you!

You know how much I love this one, esp the WG version in this case. :) Let us know how it goes! Some pics I took recently to add to the poison for now :P Cheers robin ...  

Your pics don't help waiting

Thanks for the pics Robin and for the post you wrote about the subject :) I'll take my time but it has gained many places on my wish list for sure. Cheers, Mark

funny, as yesterday I just tried both

versions in WG and RG. Thanks Robin for your analysis and photos on these creations. the WG is IMHO a little bit too neutral and I just prefer the RG with brushed case (more in the vintage or historical spirit which inspired Max B.) The PR is too classic,...  

Lol, I was in the same place on wednesday afternoon !

I spoke with Caroline about other watches but my girl is Michele :) It's a very nice place to discuss about and dream about watches. I didn't try the RG version but maybe I should have... I still have time too ;) Maybe we should meet there one day ^^ Than... 

Mark, it will be a great pleasure to meet you

and this well-known temple of Haute Horlogerie in Paris is an ideal place. To see and put on wrist all LM versions is required. All have her own charm. Cheers Mark, Patrick

2 additional wristshots (RG and WG)

just for the pleasure. I hope you will also enjoy. ...  

I'll definitely have a look at the RG

even if the WG talks more to me. I was sad to see the PR had changed that way but after my try it felt very nice finally. Thanks for the Pics.

You're right with the RG color closer to the historical spirit

 
 By: Mark in Paris : October 3rd, 2014-08:05
I'll have to think about this ;)

Like the WG one I think...

 
 By: Mark in Paris : October 3rd, 2014-08:34
There is only a polished edge on the lugs and around the bezel too (on the side). What I really like in the WG version (as I did also with the LM1 in WG) is the whole mono color look and especially this fantastic grey color from the dial. I like RG (and I...  

I have to admit that these wristshots are very

nice and WG color fits perfectly on your skin (not tanned after this horrible summer). Very Good point ;-)) Mark A choice is personal and hopefully everyone do not have to wear the same watch ;-)) Cheers, Patrick

Yes Chris this signature tells very much ;)
