MB&F - Legacy Machine No.2 Palladium MB&F launched the Legacy Machine No.2, or more simply the LM2, in 2013 as a forward-looking expression of traditional mechanical watchmaking, available in a variety of materials, including red gold, white gold, platinum and titanium.

The Swiss brand now offers a new interpretation of this alluring silhouette, crafted from palladium, a rare and lightweight platinum group metal characterized by its natural white color.

The new Legacy Machine No.2 Palladium’s 44mm x 20mm case is paired with an elegant aquamarine sunray dial with subtle aqua, gray and blue tones.

Beneath a domed sapphire crystal, a white stretched lacquer dial at 12 o'clock with its blue-gold hour and minute hands creates a visual balance with the large raised differential at 6 o'clock.

Suspended above the dial by four elegant curved arms, the two flying balances and their escapements are identical mirror images, vibrating independently at a frequency of 2.5 Hz (18,000 vibrations per hour).

Their average speed is transmitted via the differential mentioned above to a single gear train, which ultimately appears as a display of time.

Consisting of 241 parts and offering a 45-hour power reserve, the Legacy Machine No.2 movement was developed to MB&F’s specifications by award-winning watchmaker Jean-François Mojon and his Chronode team.

Another independent watchmaker, Kari Voutilainen, uses decorative techniques such as Côtes de Genève, gold sleeves, mirror-polished bevels and deliberately designed internal bevel bridges to ensure the aesthetic style of the movement. High quality traditional timepieces from the 19th century remain consistent. cannot be done by machine).

In keeping with MB&F’s ethos of transparency, the names of the two men responsible for the movement are hand-engraved on the back.
