DEAD CALM
Resulting from a collaborative project with Emmanuel Tarpin, these two new editions, each limited to only eight watches, plunge us elegantly into the harshest of seasons.
In the northern hemisphere, winter is upon us transforming our panoramas. Snow blankets the landscape in an immaculate shade of white. The icy winds chisel away at the earth. MB&F is capturing these atmospheres of wonder within two timepieces, the Legacy Machine FlyingT Ice & Blizzard. In keeping with its commitment towards producing original creations, the Geneva-based brand called upon Emmanuel Tarpin’s dexterity and his ability to captivate. The young master jeweler, a graduate of the Haute École d’Art et de Design (HEAD), brilliantly and elegantly set the scene for his favorite season.
Hence, the dome of the LM FlyingT provides the ideal setting for the Ice and Blizzard models. On the first of these, diamond stalagmites flourish on the sapphire. The second stands out thanks to the flakes crafted from these same precious stones. In order to emphasize the nuanced shades of winter, the main dial and the inclined disk on which the serpentine hour and minute hands revolve are finished with matte azure lapis lazuli.
Their 39 x 20 mm white gold case, entirely studded with diamonds, incorporates the caliber developed in-house by MB&F. This powerful self-winding movement delivers 100 hours of power reserve. It features the suspended blue-tinted balance, and the central 60-second flying tourbillon topped with a tourmaline. This gem also embellishes the two crowns respectively dedicated to the winding and setting. Mesmerizing down to the last detail!
