MB&F LM FlyingT ‘Tiger Eye’ Watch
Meet the NEW Legacy Machine Flying T:
The 1st MB&F Machine collection inspired by powerful women.
Made of 18K white gold with malachite dial plate and 18K yellow gold case with tiger eye dial plate. Your choice of calf or alligator leather straps available with gold or platinum pin buckle matching the case.
Receiving a very warm welcome from the watchmaking world, this style has received many awards, including the Best Ladies’ Complication at the 2019 Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève.
Adorned in yellow gold case to compliment the silky lustre of tiger eye, with its undulating bands of color varying from gold to deep brown.
As always with gemstones, several virtues have been associated to tiger eye: in some parts of the world, the stone is believed to ward off the evil eye. Roman soldiers wore engraved tiger eye to protect them in battle.
Powering this new edition, the towering vertical structure of the FlyingT automatic movement, offering 100 hours of power reserve and topped by a 60-second flying tourbillon. The time is displayed on a tilted subdial placed at 7 o’clock visible only to the wearer of the watch, underlining the personal nature of the LM FlyingT.
Inspired with a feminine and maternal aesthetic, in Maximilian Büsser’s life. Says Büsser, “I wanted LM FlyingT to possess the epitome of femininity as reflected by the women in my life, particularly my mother. It had to combine supreme elegance with tremendous vitality. The column-like structure of the flying tourbillon was very important to me as I felt very strongly that women form the pillar of humanity. At the same time, there is another layer of meaning coming in from the sun-shaped rotor, which incorporates the element of life-giving, a source of sustenance which we gravitate towards and around.”
