MB&F made a name for themselves with unconventional Horological Machines with designs born of the brand’s namesake Max Büsser’s love of vintage sci-fi and steampunk themes. The Legacy Machine represented a partial departure, blending 19th-century with a retro-futuristic mentality. The collection hosts a stunning array of horological innovations, from the split escapement to the wild perpetual calendar and Sequential Chronograph examples with movements developed by the brilliant Stephen McDonnell. It’s a collection that elicits powerful emotions.

These watches have shown how to bring movements into a three-dimensional space in captivating ways, and they have established a new genre in the process.
