MB&F ´LM2 – palladium with aquamarine sunray di MB&F ´LM2 – palladium with aquamarine sunray dial` to mark the 10th anniversary of the series (LE 18 pieces) It´s deceptively simple, is it? It offers only hours and minutes. But look closer, around its immaculate white subdial, and you’ll start to discern two fully independent escapements, each with its own flying balance wheel: yes, this is in fact an ultra-complex timepiece, one of the very few double-regulators on the market. Look closer still, and you might notice that each balance is beating independently… The secret? A sophisticated central planetary differential averages out the rates of both regulating systems, delivering a more constant result to the time display above. Sidenotes: • Jean-Francois Mojon and Kari Voutilainen conceived and designed the movement • LM2 series is the rarest of the Legacy Machines #MBandF #LM2 #LegacyMachine #LM2palladium #JeanFrancoisMojon #KariVoutilainen #IndependentWatchmaking #MBandFfriends #MBandFcollectors

Watch of the Day: Ferdinand Berthoud ´Chronomètr Watch of the Day: Ferdinand Berthoud ´Chronomètre FB 3SPC.1` Curves it´s all about and not to forget chronometry. A side beauty it features a rare watchmaking specialty, a cylindrical balance-spring appearing at 9 o´clock. The only one of its kind to satisfy the chronometric criteria of the COSC (ISO 3159 certification made possible only by the precision adjustments performed by the Manufacture´s watchmakers). Its so far the ´simplest` in the Ferdinand Berthoud line-up – does its chronometric focussed concept appeal to you as much as the remainder of their offerings? PS: it fits good on the wrist – even smaller ones (Case: 42.30mm x 9.43mm, white gold, water-resistant to 30m) #BeEclectic #WatchOfTheDay #FerdinandBerthoud #FB3SPC #chronomtre #chronometer #WatchCollector #watchfam #watchlover #watchesofinstagram #Armbanduhren #Uhren #WatchGeek #wotd #COSC
