ENTERTAINING ENGINEERING
Through this one-of-a-kind model produced in a 33-piece limited series, the Friends whisk short-cycle time measurement off to a new dimension that wows and entertains.
With its Legacy Machine Sequential EVO in 2022, MB&F expanded the horizons of timekeeping in a watch. By embracing two chronographs, this new model boasts independent, split-second, cumulative, and lap-timer mode. And, thanks to upgrading it with a flyback function, it can now sequence series of time measurements easily and ever-so quickly. On top of the visual enchantment sparked when discovering this new LM Sequential Flyback Platinium, a yearning to play with the pushers dotted around the middle of the 44 mm-diameter platinum-sculpted case reigns.
Its complex manual-winding movement, assembled using some 619 components, delivers a power reserve of 72 hours. A display on the watch back lets the wearer know how much energy’s left. This caliber meticulously drives the ballet of the chronograph hands, as well as the hour and minute ones, ticking by on a tilted disc at 6 o’clock. And, just like with traditional chronographs, each pair of seconds and minutes counters comes with its own buttons. The fifth pusher set at 9 o’clock and known as Twinverter, “controls both chronograph systems, operating as a binary switch that inverts the current start/stop status of each chronograph. This means that if both chronographs are stopped, pressing the Twinverter causes both of them to start simultaneously. If they are both running, the Twinverter makes them stop. And, if one is running and the other is stopped, the Twinverter stops the one that is running and starts the one that is stopped”, specifies the brand. Time has never been this fascinating.
