MB&F Legacy Machine 1

About this reference

The MB&F Legacy Machine 1 (LM1) in 18k pink gold was introduced in 2011 as the debut model of the Legacy Machine collection and remained in production until approximately 2017. Collectors prioritize this reference for its bespoke movement developed by Jean-François Mojon and finished by Kari Voutilainen, featuring a 14mm flying balance wheel suspended above dual independent time zones. The 44mm case houses a high-domed sapphire crystal and a vertical power reserve indicator, marking the brand’s transition from futuristic designs to nineteenth-century aesthetics. On the secondary market, this reference typically trades between $65,000 and $85,000 depending on condition and completeness. While the initial launch included 18k white gold, the pink gold variant is noted for its contrast against the NAC-treated bridges. A "Final Edition" in stainless steel concluded the series, but the pink gold remains the definitive original configuration.
