Well, I don't have the same feeling than you Don.
I don't consider the dial side as "very modern"... I don't consider it as a contemporary dial like another Machine.
This is for me a very modern dial:
When I look at the LM2 (or LM1) dial, I don't have the same feeling:
Look at the sub-dial... it looks like an enamel dial with roman figures.. or the big gear. Again, I have the feeling to be in front of an incredible machine from Jules Verne's mind! It is the reason why I'm not surprised by the movement style. Actually, I don't see a gap between the front and the back sides.
Anyway, I would like to thank you a lot for your interesting comment!

My view of the MB&F Legacy Machine 2
The Legacy Machine 1, which was unveiled two years ago, is a very important watch for Max Büsser. Indeed, it not only marks the beginning of a new collection but it explores territories and embodies ideas that are not so clearly addressed with the Horolog...
Great post Fx,
I find this LM2 quite nice and maybe more interesting technically speaking, but I think I much prefer the LM1 because it seems to me that it is less overloaded and hence purer (especially with the 2 very nice symmetrical white dials). Thanks for the impre...
Thanks a lot Mark for your feelings!
Even if I like a lot the LM2, I think that if I had to choose between the LM1 and the LM2, I would go to the LM1. I love the big balance wheel... and the idea of two independent time displays. On the other hand, I prefer the movement of the LM2. Here is a...
Thks for a great post
I handled the LM2 two week ago. I was totally mezmerized by it ! Blown away actually . If not for the 44mm case, this could easily be my first INDI. The way the 2 balance wheel move in opposite direction makes the watch literally "ALIVE". Great job MBNF ....
Thanks a lot for the picture of the duo!
Did you manage to see the PT version? I didn't sadly. Fx
No sadly i didnt see the PT version.
But was pleasantly surprised by the WG version. Best Iceman
Thanks Iceman.
It seems that the PT version was the most sucessful one... not a surprise due to its dial! Fx
An excellent review as always
Extremely well written. I am always impressed with your mastery of the English script. Agree with you, both LM1 and LM2 are simply divine horological creations, but would most likely veer toward the LM1 for the dial layout, and the LM2 for the movement. I...
Thanks a lot Dean for your words!
About the LM3... I'm sure that Max will surprise us again! ;) Fx
Great review FX, but I have a problem with these LMs...
Great review FX, but I have a problem with these LMs. I can't resolve the dissonance (that I see) between the dial side and the movement side. The movement side is beautiful oldstyle, I love it. The dialside is very modern. It it perfectly made and has lo...

What a watch...
made me dream for a bit like how I do whenever I see posts on watches like the GP Golden Bridges. also imagined how it might look like on my wrist, with those "things" just twirling all day long. the urge to not glance at the watch must be very difficult!...
