SERIOUSLY SUMPTUOUS
When black consorts with yellow gold, style becomes inevitably elegant. The latest variation of the brand’s most alluring watch illustrates this impeccably.
Since 2019, the LM FlyingT has been forever enthralling the ladies with its suave features and precious materials. After a version flaunting a lapis-lazuli face, then one in malachite and another in tiger eye, MB&F showcases a novel, incredibly-pure variation where an intense-black onyx stone espouses the warm hues of a 38.5 mm-diameter yellow gold case. Unlike a traditional dial, this one is shaped like a dome boasting variable thicknesses which take the mechanism-inherent technical particularities into account. The 60-second flying tourbillon reigns in its somewhat thicker center. The hours and minutes are still displayed on the 50°-tilted subdial set at 7 o’clock, ticked over by a pair of golden serpentine hands. The two-toned scenography, topped by its impressively-curvaceous crystal glass, gifts this model with a personality of incomparable timeless elegance.
And, just like all the variations previously unveiled by the Geneva-based brand, this timepiece comes equipped with the elaborate selfwinding caliber, assembled using some 280 components. This ever-so accurate in-house movement wows with its performance. It delivers at least four days (100 hours) of power reserve to the watch. The existence of a sapphire-crystal caseback invites to admire the surprising sun-shaped oscillating weight adorned with wavy rays. In Buddhism, black onyx is said to keep bad vibrations at bay. The LM FlyingT Onyx too.
