Incoming: MB&F legacy machine 101
Aug 12, 2014,21:59 PM
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 months ago also poisoned me to this watch! :p
Some initial photos to share here when I collected the watch. I will find some time to take better photos of the dial (beautiful white lacquered sub dials that look a bit translucent) and beautiful movement finished by Kari!
Cheers
Robin

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 wat...

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...
So you are tempted my friend :)

It is such a tempting watch indeed! At 40mm - great size for many people. Go check this out and try it... you may not be able to get it off your mind later haha. I will share more detailed pics soon - stay tuned :) thank you Fernando cheers robin
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

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!!

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...

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...
