CALIFORNIA DREAMIN’
The Western USA state’s inherent art of living, the warm hues of its sunsets and its azure blue sky inspired the Friends for this limited series available in just 18 pieces.
No matter what adornments the LM Perpetual EVO watch takes on, it definitely appeals to everyone. Its new-look variation boasting a 44 mm-diameter 18-karat rose gold case, still waterproof to depths of 80 m, shows its ability to adapt. This fine watchmaking piece, imagined by MB&F as a faithful companion for the wearer throughout the day, with no risk of compromising the caliber within, achieves its goal. The LM Perpetual EVO Silicon Valley proves that resistance can indeed go hand-in-hand with elegance.
Like all the previous models in this collection, a “FlexRing” system, made from a single block of steel that absorbs all shocks across several axes, protects the manual-winding movement designed by talented watchmaker Stephen McDonnell. This movement, assembled using some 581 components, delivers energy steadily from the 72-hour power reserve. All you need to make the most of your favorite activities in great style. What’s more, this limited-series-produced iteration perpetuates all the characteristics of the original edition. The hour and minute hands tick over on their off-centered dial at 12 o’clock under a sapphire-crystal dome that’s directly-welded to the case middle. The date, the day and the month are ever-so easy to read on openworked discs set respectively at 9, 3 and 6 o’clock. The large toing-and-froing balance with its 14 mm-diameter wheel takes pride of place and brings this layered scenography, flaunting a resolutely-summery blue, to life.
