Nicolas (amanico) introduces the MB&F Legacy Machine No. 2 (LM2) Red Gold Blue, sharing exclusive photos and insights into its horological significance. He delves into the watch's inspiration from dual regulator concepts by masters like Breguet and Dufour, highlighting the collaborative genius behind its movement and design.

I just received these photos from the MBF Team about the new LM 2 Red Gold Blue, which is the second Legacy Machine 2 made in red gold.

The LM 2 was issued in 2013. I immediately fell in love with this watch for what it is: A superb horological creature, whose fathers are big names of Horology, such as Jean François Mojon, for the movement development, and Kari Voutilainen for the movement design and finish specifications, and talented watchmakers for the construction and finishings of the parts.

The inspiration was borrowed from prestigious watchmakers such as A/L Breguet, Ferdinand Berthout, and more recently, Philippe Dufour, who used the concept of dual regulator.

The watch is big, with its 44 mm case, and high, 20 mm for the first edition, 19 mm for the most recent, due to the presence of a hyper domed sapphire glass.

BUT, despite these " generous " proportions ", it remains wearable. At least for a wrist like mine ( 17 cm ).

Here is the fresh LM 2 Red Gold Blue.

And some pictures of the former editions, here in platinum, my favorite:

Then in white gold:

Or purple:

In titanium:

And let's end with this picture showing how gorgeous is this movement.

Enjoy!

Best,
