Introduction

Launched in 2021 to celebrate the 10th anniversary of MB&F’s Legacy Series, the MB&F LMX is one of the most intricately designed and aesthetically exciting timepieces to come from Max Büsser’s Genevan workshop to date. Featuring two independent time zones across two slanted white enamel sub-dials at the front of the watch, an impressive seven day-long of power reserve with a rotating vertical power reserve indicator and an array of visible mechanics such as a 13.4mm balance wheel with inertia blocks, and gear-train components amongst other parts, the LMX is about as out of this world as a timepiece can get. Limited to just 33 pieces and housed within a 44mm x 21.4 mm titanium case, the LMX is a watch that bows to nobody. While its dimensions suggest that it would be a heavy watch, the LMX’s titanium construction allows it to wear lighter than one might expect. Featuring its incredibly beautiful green dial, a show-stopping central flying balance within its signature domed sapphire crystal and mesmerising mix of mechanical merriment, the LMX pays homage to Legacy Series in the best way possible. Symmetrical on its dial side and through its caseback, the LMX’s three-dimensional horological movement was developed exclusively by MB&F and created so that the LMX looks just as good from behind as it does the front.

THE DIAL

Playing background to an array of mesmerizing mechanics is the LMX's wonderful green dial that adds a perfectly bright splash of color to an already stimulating display that, amazingly, makes the LMX that bit more exciting than it already is.

THE CONSTRUCTION

While tall at 22.4mm, the LMX's domed sapphire crystal makes for the perfect enclosure for its titanium case as it enables the wearer to enjoy the timepiece's mechanics on a 3D plane, which is completely different to a standard skeletonized watch.

TIMING MACHINE READOUT

This reading was taken (crown down) with a ONEOF Accuracy Boutique Edition timing machine at time of cataloging. It is provided as a courtesy only, and shall not be construed as a warranty or guarantee of any kind. Please refer to our terms and conditions of sale for more information.

Condition

Watch is in near-mint condition. It has been worn carefully only a handful of times, and exhibits only minor signs of wear.

Please Note: Due to CITES considerations, if the watch is to be shipped outside of the USA, the exotic skin strap will have to be removed.

Our Perspective

A spectacular timepiece paying homage to one of MB&F's most important series, the LMX goes above and beyond to showcase everything that MB&F is about; incredible engineering, artisanal craftsmanship and unique designs.
