MB&F LEGACY MACHINE PERPETUAL PALLADIUM
WHEN ART IS EXALTEDThe impressive perpetual calendar unveiled by the Geneva-based brand in 2015 takes on new adornments, previously discovered on the LM 101. The visual impact is just as phenomenal!After rolling out a range of variations in precious metals and one in titanium, MB&F showcases a new 25-piece limited edition, the Legacy Machine Perpetual Palladium. The rare, noble metal of the 44 mm-diameter case is combined with an aquamarine-colored main plate-dial, which varies from blue to gray depending on the light. We discover the well-known time data scenography with, in particular, the off-centered lacquered hour and minute disc at 12 o'clock. The day, date and month boast their own displays respectively set at 3, 9 and 6 o'clock. This ensemble is completed by two circular-arc indicators, the first dedicated to leap years and the second to the power reserve. The spectacular balance spring hovers above them majestically. This timepiece also benefits from a technical development that was previously incorporated in the EVO model. Rectangular, slimline, quickset adjustment pushers, now even more wearer-friendly, fit perfectly along the case middle.All the time data is still driven by the complex caliber imagined by the Irish watchmaker Stephen McDonnell, assembled using some 581 components. This hand-wound movement, beating at a rhythm of 18,000 vibrations an hour, delivers 72 hours' autonomy to the watch. The dusky-hued finished applied to the components and offering more contrast can be admired through the sapphire-crystal caseback.The Legacy Machine Perpetual Palladium is worn on an alligator strap attached by a folding clasp.Price: CHF178,000 VAT-exclu. mb&f By Dan Diaconu
