A marvelous looking watch; a fantastic move. The design is very avant-garde, with a clean but striking appearance that is so simple yet appropiately complicated.
I admire independent watch manufacturers, but never have the courage to get one.
Since my watch quota has been suspended for the time being, I am more than happy to see fellow Purists sharing your lovely timepieces.
As my wife said:
"People go to museums because they can see those priceless masterpieces with inexpensive tickets. If one can enjoy fine arts without having to actually buy them, then I think it's the same with watches. You'll never get enough watches, so be contented with your collection, and learn to appreciate other people's sharing."
Well,fair enough. Since I have not find a way to nullify her argument, I'll settle for enjoying the posts of you guys who are still eligible to buy more watches.
Keep them coming!

My first Indie! I have admired Max and MB&F watches for awhile but the Horological Machines and Legacy Machines 1 and 2 were too big for my small wrist. With the LM 101's introduction, I finally have an MB&F I can wear at 40mm. Fx, your review some mo...

I've always admired Max and his creations and like you have felt that they were a little on the large side for me. This one is very tempting indeed! Do give us a full review in due course. Congrats and wear it in the best of health! The container is so co...

I like the brushed White Gold case alot
By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : August 13th, 2014-19:11
Very unique and discreet looking. The greyish color of the WG is also very attractive (not rhodium plated). I will share more pics soon - glad you like the case :) cheers robin
Congratulations Robin!

Nice watch! The finishing is exquisite. LM1 is one of my favourite watches. I tried it a couple of months ago... and now you reminded me. Hmmm.... Regards, Constantin
Thank you Constantin

Congrats! That is an amazing first Indie step

A beautiful masterpiece and the packaging almost looks like the shielding and protection accorded to an explosive device. Congratulations again on this acquisition. Richard
I was telling my sales rep...
By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : August 13th, 2014-19:23
that the box looks like something which customs at airports will check again and again during exports/imports! :) Looks like a bomb! But it's really cool packaging. The box is not big - the outer box is huge though due to lots of form protecting the watch...
Fantastic!!
By: T-suke : August 13th, 2014-12:26
That is a wonderful catch from MB&F. You are unstoppable. I like the timepiece as I kinda like Star Trek style. Please excuse me for my expression. :) Congratulations. Thanks, Robin, for sharing this great masterpiece with us. Regards, T-suke
The watch manages so well...
By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : August 13th, 2014-19:25
to marry a futuristic star ship like front (esp with the dome crystal and the large floating balance wheel)... yet such a traditional and classic (and superbly finished) watch movement at the back. Glad you like it too and thank you for your well wishes T...
