Very nice. Great idea, this collaboration. The killer detail for me? The hyper domed glass. The rest ain't that bad, either. I just would have preferred a manual winding movement [nt]

MB&F X H. Moser Collaboration Timepieces
MB&F is one of my all time favorite independent watch brands. Max Busser & Friends was started by Max Busser, the former CEO of Harry Winston’s Rare Timepieces and the brainchild of the “OPUS” line of specialty watches where Harry Winston collabor...
Nice but...
I just cannot imagine my facial expression when I swing my arm and hit it against the wall or door frame etc for the Tourbillon, ouch!
Imagine my fears when I borrow these watches!
I'm being super careful with this baby! Thankfully, I'm a naturally careful person to begin with!
Luckily (or sadly) for some time you will be in the elevator with your own self or perhaps ONE person
There won't be a crowd to push you into the door frame or bump you against the wall. Mike
Great collab!
The LM101s look terrific and get rid of a couple of the details I disliked on the original like the MB&F logo and the "legacy machine" text.
Great review and write up Patrick!
I kinda miss the lacquer dials of the LM101 although the fume dials are not too bad. I had a Moser fume dial once which was highly attractive but the novelty ran out after a few months. Maybe it is just old fashioned me who would always prefer a more clas...
It is difficult to stay in love with a watch if they're too thick!
I remember a Zeitwerk that I thought I'd love, but then realized it was too thick and constricting to wear. What a watch though!
We think alike Patrick! :-)
and our small wrists do not help when it comes to thick watches. The LM range are lovely to look at though. less lovely to wear on a daily basis.
Indeed! Thin watches prevail!
I'm going to be testing out that highly domed tourbillon for a few days.
Good luck!!
I was at the M.A.D. Gallery in January and even after a few seconds, I felt 19mm was suicidal!!
It's a lot of work! Lots of responsibility! Imagine what would happen if there was a big scratch! And I'm offered a lot of watches that I'd rather not take but I do it for the good of WatchProSite!
It's definitely a lot of responsibility! On some watches, I simply can't do it. The insurance is tremendous!
I'm with you here.
I think think the palladium is the best LM101 ever made, and I like the sub dials.
Thank you! I think it's two very cool brands and I'm liking what I see. Check back in for the LIVE REVIEW of the Tourbillon piece, starting in less than 24 hours.
You will be able to ask me questions about the Tourbillon piece as I'm actively wearing it and borrowing it.
Hi, thank you for the invitation, but...
... while I think it‘s an interesting collaboration, these are not the right timepieces for me. I just don‘t see myself wearing these and I‘m in general not interested in tourbillon timepieces. But I like the idea of live reviews. Maybe next time
Sounds good!
These pieces are definitely designed to appeal to a very small niche of watch collectors! Not everyone likes every watch ever made! I certainly don't like every watch on the market!
I really love these two collaboration watches a lot
Best of both worlds imho . Can’t wait to see them in person but think they will be long sold out by then
I think they will sell out fairly quickly...
I can see the tourbillon model will be a little slower selling due to the higher cost, unusual height, greater amount made, and unconventional layout. The last two MB&F items I bought both sold out before I got a chance to buy them. For the item one I...
