MB&F operates, as indicated by its very name, on the principle of Friends. These are partial participants in the development of a project, or major partners, who bring vision, design and even a movement to a timepiece. Yet never before has the interpenetration of identity codes gone so far as with the latest collaborative endeavor. The LM 101 MB&F x H. Moser is at once a Friends-inspired Moser and a “Moserized” MB&F, so intimate is the entwinement of style, colors and finishes. What does it derive from MB&F ? The typical movement of the Legacy Machine collections : hyper-traditional when viewed from the back and totally MB&F from the front, with the large cantilevered arch that has become a signature. The height of the latter construction, which supports a balance wheel suspended above the dial, requires the use of a dome-shaped sapphire crystal. Finally, the watch case is that of the first Legacy Machine. And what does it embody of Moser ? Firstly, it belongs to the Concept series, whose dials are absolutely devoid of any indication and notably of any brand name. Moreover, they feature a sunburst gradient pattern based on a principle to which Moser holds the secret. Finally, for the first time, an LM houses a double hairspring, representing the major technical specialty of Moser, which thereby adds its very own touch to the movement.
