Legacy Machine: Flying T - Malachite
Description
DESCRIPTION
A soaring flying tourbillon projects like a column from the dial plate, driven by energy generated by the sun-shaped rotor (power reserve of 100 hours). A diamond flashes atop the upper tourbillon cage. Located at 7 o’clock, the hours and minutes are indicated by a pair of serpentine hands on a subdial inclined at 50°, visible only by the wearer; an intimate communication that highlights the personal nature of the LM FlyingT. This powerful articulation of feminine horology, the first of its kind from MB&F, was awarded the Prix de la Complication pour Dame at the 2019 Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève. Legacy Machine FlyingT was first launched in 2019 in three editions, all in white gold and set with diamonds: black lacquer dial plate with case set with brilliant-cut diamonds; dial plate and case both fully set with brilliant-cut diamonds; and dial plate and case both fully set with baguette-cut diamonds.
