MB&F Legacy Machine Split Escapement Watch
The i-th original old machine No. 1 watch stopped (in the final version of the LM1 complete series), Switzerland MB&F now has introduced the old machine split escapement, which debuted in four styles. Although Legacy Machine Split Escapement is the fifth in the sub-collection of the entire MB&F brand, the digital naming convention no longer exists. This starts with Legacy Machine 1 (LM1), then LM2, followed by LM101, Legacy Machine Perpetual Calendar, and now MB&F Legacy Machine Split Escapement.MB&F HM4 replica
MB&F once again worked with the talented watch movement designer Stephen McDonnell for Legacy Machine Split Escapement. His technical and aesthetic strength has been proven in the MB&F Legacy Machine perpetual calendar (the practice of splitting here), which was actually more or less developed by McDonald's movement for the perpetual calendar. For practical reasons, he needs to separate the balance and hair springs from the anchors on many mandrels. This has the practical effect of having a swinging balance wheel on one side of the dial and an anchor and escape wheel on the other side.
For aesthetic reasons, the system is now the main attraction of the new Legacy Machine Split Escapement. In a sense, this watch is a re-imagining of the LM1. I don't actually think that Split Escapement is an upgraded or better watch, but more or less lateral movement from LM1 to Split Escapement. With the LM1 no longer in production and a range of healthy high-end Legacy Machine models, such as the perpetual calendar, this strategic move by MB&F makes sense.
Legacy Machine Split Escapement benefits from the aesthetic upgrade of the Legacy Machine, which was only recently launched in the late LM1 production run. This includes a polished bezel and a round polished design that balances the wheel bridge. MB&F further chose to use their fancy "matte" dial for this debut Legacy Machine Split Escapement watch. This is the technology we have seen before, such as LM101 Frost (hands here). The matte finish is an attractive backdrop for the three sub-dial on the main dial, as well as the suspended 2.5 Hz frequency balance wheel mechanism.https://www.bestluxurysale.com
Like the Legacy Machine 1, the MB&F Legacy Machine Split Escapement is a 44 mm wide enclosure with a thickness of 17.5 mm, while the original LM1 is thicker. The case material for the first model is limited to 18k white gold. However, the frost dial has four colors, including gold, red gold, blue or enamel. This is a taste issue when considering which Legacy Machine dial you prefer. I am a fan of the two "eyes" of the LM1, and the MB&F Legacy Machine Split Escapement has three opposing sub-dial with a relatively large space in between. I haven't worn this yet, but I'm curious to know what Legacy Machine Split Escapement would look like if the sub-dial is a bit large and probably the same size. despite this,
Stephen McDonald's hand-wound movement was done very well, running again at 18,000 bph with a power reserve of 72 hours. In addition to the large hanging balance (since the handle is located on the other side of the watch, it now looks cleaner), the face also has a sub-dial indicator for time, date and power reserve. In a sense, Legacy Machine Split Escapement feels like a mature version of Legacy Machine 101. I really appreciate the power reserve indicator, but of course it's easy to miss the LM1's peculiar "3D" power reserve indicator.
With the advent of MB&F Legacy Machine Split Escapement, we saw the Legacy Machine series a bit of a dilemma as consumers have expressed a preference for the particular style they like. Although MB&F's Horological Machine series is more interested in the subsequent creation of each piece in the new design, the Legacy Machine series is in some sense “anti-MB&F”, not only in terms of style, but also in terms of change. It is also more traditional. Admittedly, Legacy Machine Split Escapement is an attractive and compelling product, but I hope it has no more static design ideas for future Legacy Machine products.luxury replica watches perfect
