The line Legacy Machine is available as a parallel to the Horological Machines, the watches of which are masterpieces of modern art chronometric. Legacy Machine is a tribute to watch making tradition of 18-19 centuries, when there was no Internet and space travel, but were the Eiffel Tower, pocket watches and Jules Verne - these cultural phenomena inspired the masters of MB & F in creating a Legacy Machine No.1.
The watch MB & F Legacy Machine No.1 with elements of traditional style was turned by Maximilian Büsser into something extraordinary. When creating this model, he mused:
"As events would have developed if I was born in 1867 instead of 1967? The first wristwatch was invented only in the early of the 20th century. Of course, I did not change - I would like to create true three-dimensional machine, but for inspiration yet be jet fighters and "Star Wars." Since in what way would my watch look like in 1911? They probably would have been round and three-dimensional. It would be Legacy Machine, "- here in this unusual manner Maximilian Büsser describes the creation of new watches.
It is possible to create unique watches MB & F Legacy Machine No.1 Büsser really had to go to for inspiration in centuries past - like the hero of the latest Woody Allen movie "Midnight in Paris". And in the opinion of visitors to The Watches Days these hours have turned out better than the modern representatives of the avant-garde.
This watch is worked on by the best watchmaker and winner of the Grand Prix of Geneva in 2010, Jean-Francois Mozhon and famous Finnish independent artist Kari Voutilainen. The names of these great masters are immortalized on the mechanism of the watch in appreciation for their contributions.
