This project, the Legacy Machine 101, seen here in red, represents the coming together of two independent Swiss companies, H. Moser & Cie. and MB&F.

Founded in 2004, Greubel Forsey’s Grande Sonnerie watch design is far from ordinary. With 11 years of research, coupled with assembling no less than 935 parts, filing two patents and incorporating the brand’s third fundamental invention, the Tourbillon 24 secondes, the sheer attention to detail has made this project one of the most complex of its kind. 

Established in 2002, the Bremont brand is inspired by aviation, with each piece having a classic personal touch. 

First launched in 2017, Horological Machine No.7 returns in a titanium case with a green sapphire crystal bezel, limited to 50 pieces. The organic jellyfish-inspired design of HM7 Aquapod is counter-balanced by the mechanical horology within; a central flying tourbillon tops the concentric vertical movement architecture, with indications radiating out from the centre.

The very first editions of Legacy Machine No.2 included a version in 18k red gold. Six years later, the LM2 Red Gold Blue is the last-ever LM2 to be crafted in this precious metal. Only 12 pieces make up this limited edition, distinguished from previous LM2s thanks to a deep blue dial plate. The stars of the LM2 are undoubtedly the dual ‘flying’ balance wheels. These two fully independent regulating systems, each beating at their own rate, are averaged out by the central planetary differential.
