Catalogue Essay
Dressed in a frosted golden finish, this is the LMX produced in a limited edition of just 33 pieces released in 2022. A legacy with a fresh steel exterior and brass dial of the award winning creation.
The battle-axe-shaped escapement bridge and gear-train components are visible as three large wheels placed next to each winding crown, two are set in motion when setting the time on the corresponding time display, while the gear at 6 o’clock is the common seconds’ wheel. Of particular note is the new bespoke13.4 mm balance wheel hovering above the dials and featuring inertia blocks that allow for a more precise regulation.
However, the star of the show is the incredibly captivating three-dimensional spherical power reserve indicator (168 hours). Two markers are positioned on opposite sides of a hemisphere; one framed by an arched scale numbered 1 to 7, another with a scale showing the days of the week. This complex and completely novel interplay of components gives an additional level of intricacy, by the rotation of the entire power-reserve display itself. This allows wearers to choose their preferred mode of power-reserve indication: by continuing to wind the crown even after the power reserve is fully replenished, wearers can adjust the orientation of the indication in order to make the day-of-the-week or numeric scale more visible when LMX is on the wrist.
A true gem of horological design and technical prowess the present LMX in golden brass is numbered lucky 18 from the collection.
Please note that MB&F generously offers a complementary servicing of the watch with one-year warranty to the winning bidder within a period of 6 months after the sale.
