We bid farewell to MB&F’s LM1, with a final edition in stainless steel. Nicolette Wong highlights why collectors should be clamouring to get their hands on this 18-piece limited edition
IT IS THE END OF AN ERA. MB&F has written the final chapter in its Legacy Machine No 1 (LM1) series, which had caused quite the stir when it hit the horological shelves back in 2011. The LM1 was the beginning of the Legacy Machine anthology, which then represented a radical departure for the brand. Now, however, the tome that started it all is reaching its terminus. And naturally, MB&F cannot help but introduce a new twist to the plot.
The LM1 Final Edition, as the brand has chosen to call it, is the first and last LM1 to be produced in stainless steel. Given that the vast majority of MB&F’s watches are crafted from precious metals, the decision to end one of its landmark collections in steel seems like an odd one; although this being MB&F, the move is evidently judicious.
