Celebrating Two Decades of Watchmaking Innovation with Limited-Edition Legacy Machine Timepieces

A Legacy of Innovation

This year marks a milestone in the world of haute horology as MB&F commemorates 20 years of groundbreaking watchmaking. From its inception in 2005, MB&F has redefined creativity in the industry, beginning with Horological Machine No. 1 and evolving into a collective of over 60 dedicated artisans. Reflecting on the journey, founder Maximilian Büsser shares, “It is like a dream come true; only I never dreamt it. I could never have even imagined we would be where we are today; it is surreal.”

This landmark anniversary is being celebrated with a series of exciting releases, collaborations, and innovations—kicking off with the highly anticipated LM Perpetual Longhorn and LM Sequential Flyback Longhorn. Each model is a limited-edition masterpiece, with just 20 pieces crafted in stainless steel, featuring rhodium-plated base plates, glossy black lacquer dials, and striking blued hands.

The Longhorn Concept: A Design Reimagined

The “Longhorn” design—characterized by extended, sleek lugs—originated in 2009 during the development of the Legacy Machine No.1 (LM1). Initially set aside due to practical challenges in wrist fit, the concept was resurrected in 2021 for a one-of-a-kind LM1 prototype auctioned by Phillips, benefiting Save the Rhino International. The design’s resurgence, coupled with the positive feedback from enthusiasts, inspired its inclusion in these celebratory editions.

Both the LM Perpetual Longhorn and the LM Sequential Flyback Longhorn feature this distinctive lug design, paired with an elegant black-and-silver aesthetic that emphasizes MB&F’s commitment to craftsmanship and innovation.

Limited Edition Timepieces

Legacy Machine Perpetual Longhorn

The LM Perpetual Longhorn showcases MB&F’s award-winning perpetual calendar, developed in collaboration with master watchmaker Stephen McDonnell. This 581-component marvel eliminates the common pitfalls of conventional perpetual calendars through a revolutionary “mechanical processor” system, ensuring seamless operation without skipping dates or jamming gears. Key features include:

  • Manual winding with a 72-hour power reserve
  • Bespoke 14 mm balance wheel with traditional regulating screws
  • Stainless steel case measuring 44 mm x 17.5 mm
  • Functions: hours, minutes, day, date, month, retrograde leap year, and power reserve indicators

Legacy Machine Sequential Flyback Longhorn

A testament to MB&F’s technical prowess, the LM Sequential Flyback Longhorn is a dual chronograph with groundbreaking features. Designed for versatility, it offers multiple timing modes, including split-second and lap-timer functions, via a “Twinverter” binary switch. Additional highlights include:

  • Manual winding with a 72-hour power reserve
  • Flyback chronograph system with independent timing modes
  • Stainless steel case measuring 44 mm x 18.2 mm
  • Functions: dual chronograph timing, flyback, and power reserve indicator

A Tribute to Collaboration

Both timepieces pay homage to Stephen McDonnell, a longstanding collaborator and one of MB&F’s original “friends.” McDonnell’s innovative designs have significantly shaped the Legacy Machine collection, underscoring the importance of creative partnerships in MB&F’s success.

Looking Ahead

MB&F’s 20th anniversary celebrations are set to continue with more surprises, reflecting the brand’s unwavering dedication to artistry and innovation. As these exclusive Longhorn editions launch, they stand as timeless tributes to the journey of a visionary watchmaking collective.
