MB&F presents a new stainless steel version of its award winning LM Perpetual.
Introduced in 2015, the Legacy Machine Perpetual was the winner of the Best Calendar Watch Prize at the GPHG in 2016.
Created in collaboration with independent Irish watchmaker Stephen McDonnell, this revolutionary perpetual calendar watch already exists in red gold, platinum, white gold, titanium, yellow gold and palladium versions. Joining this year, the new LM Perpetual Stainless Steel comes with an elegant salmon-coloured plate.
The steel and salmon combination is a first for MB&F. This new model also features the ergonomic corrector pushers first seen on the LM Perpetual EVO editions.
Equipped with a fully integrated 581-component calibre, LM Perpetual displays day of the week at 3 o’clock, power reserve indicator at 4 o’clock, month at 6 o’clock, retrograde leap year indicator at 7 o’clock, and date at 9 o’clock. The off-centred dial with the hour and minute hands is located at 12 o’clock, between the elegant arches of the balance.
