Incoming MB&F LM2

This is one of the best I own. The dial color and movement finish has to be seen to believe. Wish the deployant clasp is easier to use like the FPJ ones.

If anyone is on the fence because of the 44mm case size, I would say that it wears much smaller than a 44mm. It wears like a 41mm RO IMO.

love it, handled a purple one a few years ago. only thing, beyond actually being able to afford it is the balance wheels not beating the same.

I believe the asynchronous balance wheel is intentional so one is regulated to + and the other is -. It is so that the differential can work its magic. The placement is also intentionally farther apart so they will not get into resonance. (It is an anti-resonance watch unlike the FPJ)

Will take a rest for 2024 since this year is too busy with incomings. Need time to enjoy each piece.

MB&F is a special brand and you should read up on the history and philosophy of the company. Max Busser is probably one of the nicest person in this industry.
