Fabulous piece
that I appreciate bit by bit more after each post/review.
Thank you Mark!
It still acts like a technical masterpiece and congrats to MB&F for such an achievement.
You mention that movement finishing on the front would be more impressive than on the back with this piece. I assume impression means just the higher complexity that is seen on the front or do you have some points identified where you wished for a better quality of finishing on the back?
Do you know if the month indication is also jumping or continuous?
Cheers and thanks for your report

A hands-on review of the new MB&F Legacy Machine Perpetual
Dear forumners, I've been able to handle the new MB&F Legacy Machine Perpetual last week and thought I could share with you my impressions. It seems from the first posts I could read from you that this novelty makes people be very enthusiastic. After I sa...

Well, you should really see it in the metal then, it is amazing.
And yes, both sides are equally finished: it is just that the front side has a very impressive contruction design. As for the month, yes, it is jumping: you can see it on my pictures as it is set on the 15th and the hand is exactly placed in front of the ...
Thanks Mark
I love this watch since the first pictures on IG few days ago, i would like to see it in flesh. Another very informative review, another *.pdf for my folder. Cheers Chris
If you already love it from pics I can assure you the "live "experience will make you fall in love
Thanks for your nice comments, I'm glad you enjoyed it too Chris! Cheers, Mark
Great review of an outstanding watch!
Thanks so much for this great overview! I saw the watch in Geneva just prior to its introduction and can absolutely support everything you have said here -- it is an absolute beauty and technically impressive as well. Definitely on the wish list -- too ba...
You must have been very excited
and it must have been difficult to keep it for yourself that long! I'm happy to read that someone with such a taste for watches in general and indies in particular, shares my appeal for this novelty. I don't have the budget but while I was wearing it a li...
Fantastic review Mark
I prefer the PT blue dial version I saw in Singapore but this red gold version is also beautiful! Your wrist size seems to be the same as mine and it looks like 44mm fits quite well surprisingly. I remember I tried the LM 1 and felt it was too big and hen...
Haven't seen the Pt version yet
And I imagine this material will be highly sought after, thus difficult to handle. Yes I was surprised about how "not ot big" looked this 44mm watch. I wouldn't hesitate because of the dimensions. Enjoy your blue strapped LM Robin and thank you for your v...
Great review, Mark!
And if I am reading it correctly, Mr. McDonnell did not use any concepts from U.N. or Cartier, or anyone else. This is a completely original take on a PC. Congratulations to him.
Thank you Padj, I appreciate :)
Yes, you read it correctly. Stephen McDonnell replied in the previous article from the launch press-kit and confirmed it. It makes this watch a very exceptionnal piece imho. Cheers, Mark
How many exclamation points I'll need???
Thank you for your review, Mark! I can easily feel you had to measure the positive words, since you liked the LMP sooo much! ;-) After all, what's not to love in this piece? I think simply nothing! And I can express my opinion with utmost serenity, since....
I'm glad you're that enthusiastic Elio
lol yes, I tried to remain objective but I'm sold Concerning your last question, as the watch is my favorite from the brand and that I see many very positive reactions here (even if it is not a large enough sample), it can only go that positive way. The w...
To tell the truth, I was mesmerized by the first generation.
And I still am. I feel the addition of a perpetual calendar removes a bit of the purity of the original design. Then, the pushers... There are way better solutions than multi pushers. Setting the calendar datas through one pusher, for example ( see JLC ) ...
The LM1 and LM3 possess two quite different spirit...
even thought they share the same line. The first one was more on the design purity and style work. I like its symetry very much too. However, because of the mechanical complication, the LM3 has changed to become a more technical LM: it has lost a little w...
Thank you for the review Mark !
Another excellent work by Max Busser.. I have to say, it might be one of the finest and interesting perpetual calendar in the market today Looking froward to see it in metal Best, Sam
Glad you enjoyed it Sam!
Yes, Max Busser is a great manager and he knows how to select talented crews. Tell us what you think when you can handle it. Cheers, Mark
