MB&F Showcases the All-New LM101 EVO NYC Edition to Mark the Grand Opening of Its Manhattan Lounge

After more than two decades of fruitful collaborations with retail partners within the U.S., MB&F steeped itself into the heart of Manhattan with its standalone New York lounge. To commemorate this exciting milestone, the brand applied its deft craftsmanship into the LM101 EVO NYC Edition. This elegant watch, limited to just 25 pieces, perfectly encapsulates the brand’s penchant for celebrating special moments in style.

Staying true to the original, the new piece adorns a 40mm case with a thickness of 16.5mm in 5N+ rose gold instead of titanium. The dial plate gets a revamped look with a black PVD-treated finish displaying a sunray-brushed texture. The darker backdrop helps offset the oversized 14mm flying balance wheel. The high-domed sapphire crystal reveals the time and power reserve displays in all their glory, unmistakably embodying the Legacy Machine spirit. The caseback engraving ‘MB&F NYC’ remains as a stark reminder of this edition’s exclusivity.

The LM101 EVO NYC Edition carries forth the Legacy Machine’s fundamental trait of serving as the perfect everyday wear timepiece. The EVO line has been crafted deliberately to provide MB&F’s intricately complex watches with a touch more resilience and user-ease. With an 80-meter water-resistant case, a screw-down crown, an integrated black rubber strap, and the proprietary FlexRing shock absorber, the wearer need not worry about minor wear and tear. The piece beautifully fuses practicality with a floating balance wheel – a rare combination, allowing owners to enjoy this timepiece daily. It’s powered by the manually wound LM101 EVO calibre, delivering a 60-hour power reserve and operating at 18,000 vibrations per hour. With its suspended balance wheel and gracefully finished movement, the watch offers a pleasing aesthetic experience.
