Description

The MB&F Legacy Machine Split Escapement was launched in 2017. It features a new iteration of the Legacy Machine's signature suspended balance wheel, with the anchor and escape wheel now concealed below the dial.

The Launch Edition is available in four variations with the movement finish matching the frosted dial plates. Each version is limited to 18 pieces;

-Blue frosted finish paired with rhodium-plated movement for the most classically elegant version (pictured);
-Ruthenium frosting with similarly darkened movement evoking new-millennial functionality and putting the focus on the white lacquer dials;
-Red gold frosting and movement conveying warmth and accessibility, its subtle roseate sheen emphasising the intense hue of the blued hands;
-Yellow-gold frosting and movement finish: the strongest aesthetic affinity with the era inspiring the Legacy Machine collection, an era that defined the precepts of modern watchmaking.
