MB&F Unveils the LM Split Escapement EVO at Geneva Watch Days
Everyone who is familiar with MB&F’s work knows that its timepieces are, in fact, pieces of art for the wrist, combining avant-garde design with some of the most innovative and sophisticated mechanisms in contemporary watchmaking. This is one reason why the models are nicknamed “Legacy Machines.”
A couple of years ago, the Swiss independent brand introduced the EVO concept. Short for “evolution,” this design was created to improve the overall sturdiness and wearability in daily life, including a water resistance of 80 meters, a screw-down crown, an integrated rubber strap, and luminescent indices. Positioned as the brand’s “sports watch,” the concept might be best known by its movement, which is suspended by a specially designed shock-absorbing ?FlexRing? system, dampening vertical and horizontal shocks. Most recently, the EVO concept was integrated into the LM Sequential Chorongraph EVO, MB&F’s first chronograph, and its 20th in-house movement.
At this year’s Geneva Watch Days, EVO comes to life in the LM Split Escapement EVO. This haute horologerie timepiece is presented in a grade 5 titanium case with a diameter of 44.5mm. The notably slim bezel frames the dial with an icy-blue background and slate gray subdials that indicate the date, the power reserve, and the time. While this intriguing combination is for sure a feast for the eyes, the Split Escapement takes center stage.
