About this reference
The MB&F Legacy Machine No. 1 (LM1) in 18k red gold was introduced in 2011 as the inaugural model of the Legacy Machine collection, remaining in production until the series was retired in 2017. Collectors prioritize this reference for its bespoke movement developed by Jean-François Mojon and Kari Voutilainen, featuring a 14mm suspended balance wheel oscillating above dual independent white lacquer dials. The 44mm case houses a manual-wind caliber with a 45-hour power reserve and a vertical power reserve indicator. As the first round-cased timepiece from a brand previously defined by avant-garde shapes, it represents a pivotal shift in MB&F’s design history. On the secondary market, the LM1 red gold typically trades between $65,000 and $85,000. A notable Final Edition was released in 2017, limited to 18 pieces in stainless steel, marking the definitive end of the LM1 production run.
