LEGACY MACHINE FLYING T<\/b><\/p>\n

The first MB&F Machine dedicated to women<\/b><\/p>\n

When analyzed with hindsight, we see that even the most unpredictable and daring lives follow patterns and enter cycles. This is a fundamental truth inherent in all human existence, whether individual or collective. For Maximilian B\u00fcsser and MB&F, creative energy follows seven-year cycles. MB&F’s seventh year coincides with the appearance of the Legacy Machine collection, the opening of the M.A.D.Gallery in Geneva and the launch of co-creations. <\/p>\n

In its fourteenth year, MB&F unveiled a new line of watchmaking research, an evolution of the founder’s and the company’s creative horizons. The Legacy Machine FlyingT, launched for the first time in 2019, is MB&F’s first three-dimensional horological objet d’art dedicated to women. <\/p>\n

A round case in gold or platinum, with a strongly arched bezel and thin, stretched lugs often set entirely with diamonds. An extremely domed sapphire crystal dome rises far above the bezel. Underneath, a slightly curved dial is adorned with a variety of finishes: deep black stretched lacquer, guilloch\u00e9, dazzling gemstones, or dazzling white diamonds. <\/p>\n

The heart of the LM FlyingT’s engine – a kinematic flying tourbillon beating at the peaceful frequency of 2.5 Hz (18,000 A\/h) – appears through an asymmetrical ventricular opening on the dial. The dynamic columnar tourbillon protrudes well beyond the rest of the motor, stopping just short of the top of the sapphire crystal dome. Attached to the upper end of the cage, a large diamond rotates along with the flying tourbillon, sparkling with the fire of the highest-quality stones. <\/p>\n

At 7 o’clock – another reference to the symbolic number evoked by the LM FlyingT – the hours and minutes are displayed by elegant serpentine hands on a sub-dial lacquered in white, black or fine stone. The sub-dial is angled at 50\u00b0, so that only the owner can read the time: an intimate relationship that underlines the personal character of the LM FlyingT. <\/p>\n

On the reverse, the pink gold self-winding rotor, which gives the LM FlyingT four days of power reserve, takes the form of a three-dimensional sun with sculpted rays.<\/p>\n

The design of the Legacy Machine FlyingT is full of feminine and maternal references drawn from Maximilian B\u00fcsser’s life. He explains: “I wanted the LM FlyingT to express the femininity of the women in my life, especially my mother. I had to combine extreme elegance with incredible vitality. The columnar structure was very important to me, because I’m convinced that women are the backbone of humanity. At the same time, the sun-shaped rotor takes on a meaning of another kind, that of giving life, of being the nourishing source of all our existence.” <\/p>\n

The Legacy Machine FlyingT has three launch editions in 2019, all in diamond-set white gold: case set with brilliant-cut diamonds and black lacquered dial; case and dial entirely set with brilliant-cut diamonds; case and dial entirely set with baguette-cut diamonds.<\/p>\n
