MB&F Introduces Its First Women's Watch, The Legacy Machine FlyingT

With a reputation for producing some of the most avant-garde timepieces, so mechanically and aesthetically extreme that they are often referred to as "Machines", it is hard to imagine MB&F founder Maximilian Büsser being stumped for ideas He found himself in this very conundrum when working on the Legacy Machine FlyingT, the brand's first‑ever women's watch Introducing a women's watch to its line-up this year was an unexpected move that upped the ante of the creative game at MB&F.

For the company, it represents the opening of a new avenue of horological exploration and challenges, a strategy Büsser implements every seven years to take its creativity on a new trajectory In 2012, Büsser introduced the Legacy Machine family as a channel to reinvent traditional watchmaking The resulting watch is astonishingly elegant despite its protruding domed sapphire crystal.

Visibly more feminine than the Legacy Machines that came before it, the LM FlyingT has the same round-cased form, but is smaller in terms of case height and diameter, and also features slimmer lugs alongside enhanced curves and deep bevels Büsser explains, "The last thing I wanted to do was to take a masculine timepiece, resize it, put a different colour on it and call it a ladies' watch." The LM FlyingT stands out on its own while still carrying the line's distinctive qualities. . Source
