MB & F's LM101: Refining the Essence of Time


Not laziness in the sense that I don't work hard, but laziness in my tendency to choose the easiest to write (i.e. highly complex) watch; a sensational watch; and a watch that looks like the rest of the world anything.MB&F LEGACY MACHINES LM1 replica

Although the vast majority of watch buyers tend to buy round watches that display hours, minutes, and seconds, and may add odd date or power reserve indicators, I tend not to write about the more "ordinary" types. Watch.

For me, writing these more standard, although very popular watches is hard work and requires in-depth study of the details to distinguish them from almost the same brands (except brands) and competitors.

Yes, I write watches that interest me. Yes, it is easier to write some watches that I find very interesting. But compared to the latest Rolex GMT Sea-Dweller, it makes it easier for me to explain what makes a watch like the MB & F HM4 so special.

And, since a picture is worth a thousand words, it often needs to be said less.high quality replica watches

Not only is it easier for me to write edgy watches, but you are also more likely to read them. Just as you are more likely to stop on the latest Ferrari or McLaren than on the new Toyota or Hyundai.

As for the writing of watches, so is the design of watches. When you are a small boutique brand, wanting to attract attention in a large, well-known brand ocean with a large marketing budget can help you be different. . . The more different the better.

If your plan is to sell tens of thousands of watches, then this strategy will not work, because most collectors are conservative when buying goods, and usually do n’t donate hard-earned money to things that seem crazy, but no No way.

But when you're a boutique brand like MB & F, you don't need to-in fact, MB & F founder Maximilian Büsser didn't want to sell thousands of watches, so he made Unconventional, science fiction niche watches have been paid. MB & F is getting stronger and stronger.

In addition to aggressive watches, MB & F's success can be attributed in part to "lazy" writers like me, and hardworking colleagues who have found that MB & F watchmakers are more prone to highlight their facial appeal than their latest colleagues Use three hands to bypass the Tudor dynasty (unintentional attack on the Tudor dynasty).HUBLOT BIG BANG UNICO 441.CI.1170.RX replica

As a result, we are all used to MB & F's continuous introduction of alien clocks, and many journalists like me have written pleasant articles for the brand because it is easy to write.

Until 2012, everything became awkward, until Büsser showed off a round watch and pulled the carpet down from our feet (this is not the first time).

MB & F's round watch?

Why does MB & F display a round watch in the form of Legacy Machine No. 1 (LM1)?

The answer is simple: Maximilian Büsser loves challenges, and in the watch industry, challenges may not be greater than creating revolutionary things in traditional round cases.

My first reaction was not, "Wow, this is a bold move", but, "Damn, I will have to work harder to generate interest in round tables." Disclosure: I am not just thinking here As a reporter, I am also responsible for writing the LM101 press release

But fortunately for me-not surprisingly, the LM1 from MB & F is just another round table. The huge balance wheel of the LM1 is suspended on two completely independent dials, and coupled with the world's first vertical power reserve, the LM1 is not only striking enough to be clearly identified as an MB & F machine, but also for those who want to be lightweight That said, it also appears to be sufficient for traditional hormonal doses to fare more typical than MB & F.

All of this makes it easy to write, so a lot is done. Including myself.

The old machine No. 1 was a risk to MB & F, but it turned into a successful gamble. The LM1 has won the favor of many watch collectors and won many awards, including one award instead of two. Awards.

When you do a good thing, do something completely different

Following the No. 1 traditional machine, there is the more complicated No. 2 traditional machine. It shows two suspended balance wheels whose slew rate is averaged by a planetary differential.

Just when we might want to see Legacy Machine No. 3 with another traditional complication, namely MB & F, with new and unusual performance, we get the exact opposite: Legacy Machine No. A simplified version of 1 is called LM101.

The name "101" is derived from the fact that this model only streamlines the basic elements required for a mechanical watch: the hours, minutes and power reserve indicator (flat, but not vertical).

The hanging balance is undoubtedly a traditional machine. The case diameter of the LM101 is 40 mm, while the case diameter of the LM1 is 44 mm, so it is more suitable for smaller wrists (such as my wrist).

As a result, MB & F seems to have taken a simple approach in expanding the reach of watches by offering smaller, simplified versions of existing models. Lazy way out.

I think that's right. It's cost-effective, and most brands make some minor adjustments to do the same thing over and over again. However, this is still disappointing because my expectations for MB & F are higher than for most brands.best replica watches review

But wait, there's more

However, don't be afraid: the function of the LM101 is much more than just a flash. In fact, it is more: a new movement!

The LM101 does have a round case like the LM1.
The LM101 does have a hanging balance wheel like the LM1.
The LM101 does have a similar movement design, with bridges, finishes, and even the hand-carved name of Kari Voutilainen on the back.
but

LM0101 and LM1 have different movements.
The LM101 does not even have a highly modified version of the LM1 movement.
The LM101 has a brand new movement, designed and developed in-house by MB & F.
The LM101 has MB & F's first 100% internal movement.
On the contrary, there is nothing lazy, in fact, the opposite is true: developing new movements is as difficult as the watchmaking industry.

So the old machine 101 has:

The stunning hanging balance wheel is even larger than the LM1 due to its smaller case diameter.
Highly-shaped dome-shaped crystals allow full viewing of the three-dimensional elements of the dial from the side and top.
Elegant white, slightly domed hour and minute subdial, balanced with similar subdial for power reserve indicator.
Absolutely amazing hand finishing and movement design.
Plus a new internal movement.
Here I am worried that I have to do some articles about Legacy Machine 101, but it is easy.
