MB&F has gained a reputation for futuristic and whimsical patterns - prime exhibit: this year's offering for that Only View auction, the HM4 Thunderbolt - so tag heuer carrera calibre 16 replica it may come being a surprise to horological observers that their newest, the Legacy Machine No. 1, is a classically round timepiece.
We caught up with our friend Maximilian B¡§1sser when he introduced his newest creation, this time with friends Kari Voutilainen (he of the superb finishing touch) and tag heuer grand carrera calibre 17 replica Jean-Francois Mojon (Harry Winston Opus 10 and IWC Siderale Scafusia).
Conceived as being a tribute to traditional 19th century watchmaking (an age when mechanical watchmaking was astonishing the world), Legacy Machine No. 1 (inside the spirit with the Horological Machine, we shall call this the LM1) was borne from one of B¡§1sser's inspired flights of fantasy: what would I have created if I had been born in 1867 instead of 1967?
Without jet fighters and Star Wars replica cartier santos 100 to inspire him, Busser decided his thought experiment would have to turn towards icons of innovation at that time: pocket watches, the Eiffel Tower and Jules Verne.
The result? A horological machine with a clear bubble dome wrought from sapphire, through which one can see the LM1's engine. Hewing to the pocket watches of the day, the LMI features a 2.5 Hz slowly oscillating balance - 18,000 vph - having a traditional Breguet overcoil suspended from twin arches. The clear dome ensures that this regulating mechanism can be appreciated in full view.
The hours and minutes on the two sub dials can be set independently of each other - a noteworthy characteristic considering that most dual time zone complications that has a single balance do not allow for the independent adjustment in the minutes. For a slim profile, the LM1 also holds claim towards the world's first vertical electricity reserve indicator, driven by an ultra-flat differential with ceramic bearings.
Finish-wise, acclaimed watchmaker Kari Voutilainen was responsible for your LM1's sun-ray pattern, engraved dial-side about the movement plate; caseback-side, rubies set in polished countersunk gold chatons provide striking visual counterpoints towards the Geneva waves traversing the curved bridges.
