1 0 1 S I M P LY A B U DH A B I MB&F’s Legacy Machines were conceived when Maximilian Büsser started fantasising: “What would have happened if I had been born in 1867 instead of 1967? In the early 1900s the first wristwatches appeared, and I would want to create three-dimensional machines for the wrist. There are no Grendizers, StarWars or fighter jets for my inspiration but I do have pocket watches, the Eiffel Tower and Jules Verne. So, what might my early 20th century machines look like? They had to be round (tradition) and three-dimensional (MB&F Machine); Legacy Machines are the answer.” The LM101 Palladium edition is the first MB&F piece in palladium, a rare silvery-white metal. The naturally white colour of palladium contrasts with a new sunray dial, which varies between grey and shades of pale blue and green depending on the light. The LM101 was first launched in 18k red or white gold, then in two limited ‘Frost’ editions with frosted finishing (18 and 33 pieces), followed by a limited edition of 33 pieces in platinum 950. The latest addition to the series is the LM101 Palladium, limited to 18 pieces.
