I agree with you
and i like and respect the HM line for its horological and design daring approach. The LM line is love at first sight for me though, head over heels crazy feelings 
I just have to keep coming back to this post to look at the QP some more.

[Novelty] The new MB&F Legacy Machine Perpetual
Friends, The launch of a new Horological Machine or Legacy Machine from MB&F is always something exciting as it comes out of the traditional path. Today, Max Büsser and his friends are unveiling the 4th Legacy Machine after the LM1, the LM2 and the "e...
This watchmaker is a genius
We could never thank enough Max Busser for what he gave and hopefully he's still giving to the watch industry.
Every watcmaker brings a brick to the wall
but some add a massive one and change the face of watchmaking quite significantly. Independents have quite many of them Cheers, Mark
This piece hits the nail on the head...
What a great creation and one worthy of the MB&F name Well done Max! Andrew
It is indeed a question we always have in mind
when an independent watchmaker, or at least one we are waiting a lot from, launches something new: will it be worth of the previous models? I second your compliments Andrew. Cheers, Mark
You know what I REALLY like...
other than the design Mark? Is there is no story to go with it based on some dream or a false thank you like the HMX... its just real watchmaking, great design and a wonderfully balanced piece. To me this is by FAR the best LM version to date, I actually ...
Andrew, that is actually the most unusual argument I heard against many LE...
as it turns their virtue against them... But in this case, I guess you are right. Magnus
I follow your ranking... on a technical standpoint
and the will to master differently the QP complication. However, I find the LM1 an equal number 1 for the aesthetical symetry, pure look... As for the limited editions, there may be some in the future but I know an opposite example (from Urwerk for instan...
Another stunning piece in the LM Series!
Overwhelming creation, congrats to his "new" artist in MB&F roster. Max didi it again guys. chris
Indeed, one more masterpiece from their teams
And it is quite tricky when it comes to such a daring style (especially HM models). Cheers, Mark
I'm not much of a fan of horological machines, but
the legacy line is, for me, one homerun after another. And this, this is absolutely insanely beautiful. Ondrej
Well, HM refere are far more original, thus, more difficult to fit the general opinion
The Legacy line is a a little less extreme. However, what a great collection indeed Ondrej. Cheers, Mark

Watch the video and enjoy passion and innovation
Really like this one. Pure innovation and a design masterpiece keeping a strong sign to the brand as it continues to carry the open balance wheel. A mechanical processor, how cools sounds that... Carried away by dreams, thanks Mark and cheers kolosstt
My pleasure Kolosstt
It is very interesting to discover and follow the brand's philosophy when creating a new model. I'm glad also they kept the balance wheel display they started with the LM1. Cheers, Mark
Brilliant creation Max! Using Stephen McDonnell is genius, he's one superb watchmaker.
This piece is exquisite from the pics and description. What a tremendous improvement in the complication I love, the QP! A mechanical processor unit is just fantastic and makes a lot of sense. Well done to Max and his team for what looks to be a significa...
I didn't know him before I read about him in the press-kit
Do you? Yes, this is the kind of improvement we nearly ask ourselves why we don't see this more often (even if I understand 2 brands already tried to follow that path). Cheers, Mark
I'm fortunate...
To know Stephen McGonigle well personally, he and Stephen McDonnell shared workspace in Neuchatel until McD's recent move back to his native Northern Ireland. I had the fortune to meet him on a visit back in July 2009. Little did I know then of his full g...
Many genius watchmaker remain in the dark
I think that this one is going to be put under a glowing light for a while with that masterpiece. Thanks for the sharing your personal experience Tim Cheers, Mark
Ten very well spent years
Congratulations to Mr. Maximilian Büsser and his friends for these ten very well spent years! MB&F, as a concept brand - or, better, as a creative laboratory - has released truly innovative and surprising timepieces. This sort of enlarged family has conce...
Evident fun
This is indeed what we feel from their creations: the fact that the heart dictates it and not marketing studies. As between Pt or RG, I hope I'll be able to see it soon and find out! Cheers, Mark
Thanks for posting this, Mark.
It is quite a beautiful watch, and in line with the previous offerings from MB&F. The elimination of the typical large lever, and use of a stacked gear system has been used before by Ulysses Nardin and Cartier. The connection is Ludwig Oechslin-Carol ...
I read this too
I don't know if there is a connection but it seems to be a very smart movement. However, as their is a patent pending concerning their "mechanical processor", I imagine it is quite different from the existing previous ones (and maybe completely different,...
LM Perpetual
Hello Mark Thanks for all of the kind words and appreciation of the watch. From a technical point of view, I just thought it might be useful to clarify that while it is true that my "mechanical processor" concept is indeed an assembly based on stacked gea...
Dear Mr McDonnell, I'm sure all crazy independents lovers from PuristSPro...
will join me to show you a very warm welcome to our forum. Thank you for taking the time to login and bringing the confirmation about your original mechanical processor . I could indeed discuss with Charris and this is what I was told. I'll be posting thi...
Dear Mark
Again, thanks for your kind words. I poured my heart and soul into the conception, design, development and prototyping of this watch over a period of just under 2.5 years. This is a ridiculously short time to develop something so complex (other big brands...
All about watchmaking
This is, especially with independent watchmakers as they can (and want to) try other ways to do things, what is the most appealing. We indeed feel it is a matter of talent, curiosity and hard work and this little something we can't define (and that you ca...
Dear Stephen, we will meet in London within a few days.
I had a long chat with Charris during our dinner in Paris so I can't wait to meet at QP. I will come back in a few weks with a full review of the watch but as usual with any machine, I take my time. Best regards. Fx
Dear Foversta
Yes, it's true that I'll be at Salon QP in London next week, so I look forward to meeting you there. In the meantime, if you need any more information about the piece, or technical explanations, I would be more than happy to help. Should you require it, m...
