First launched in 2019, the Legacy Machine FlyingT was MB&F’s first-ever machine dedicated to women. It embodies elegance and vitality over the softer conventions of womanhood. Awarded the prize for Best Ladies’ Complication at the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève, the Legacy Machine FlyingT launched in three different 18K white gold versions. This year they were joined by limited editions in red gold and platinum, featuring guilloche dials. Today, the sixth edition of the LM FlyingT makes its appearance this time with a Lapis Lazuli dial and an 18K white gold case set with diamonds.

This is the first of a series of gemstone editions that MB&F \will announce once a year. Lapis Lazuli was an obvious first choice due to its intense deep blue color enhanced by the gold flecks —Pyrite. Prized since antiquity for its intense color, Lapis Lazuli has been mined as far back as 7000 BC and is found in many artifacts from civilizations across the world. During the Renaissance, it was ground into a powder and made into ultramarine, the finest and most expensive of all blue pigments.

Powering this new edition, the soaring vertical structure of the FlyingT movement, topped by a 60-second flying tourbillon. The sun-shaped winding rotor ensures the automatic movement is fully wound, offering 100 hours of power reserve.

The time is displayed thanks to delicate serpentine hands on a tilted subdial placed at 7 o’clock, visible only to the wearer of the watch; an unconventional layout underlining the intimate, personal nature of the LM FlyingT.
