MB & F LM1 M.A.D. Dubai
The Legacy Machine of MB&F is one of our all time favourites. We have seen some amazing models of it the last few years. This new model is kind of a thank you one. MB&F has been supported by the Seddiqi family from Dubai since 2005. They recently even opened the Third M.A.D. Gallery in the world in Dubai. For this occasion a very limited LM1 is created in only 13 pieces.
The casing is the first LM1 case in titanium. But the first thing to notice when you come across one of these pieces is of course the green dial. Its a world first CVD, Chemical Vapour Deposition. This is a chemical process which originates in the world of semiconductors. True some chemical processes a high quality, high-performance, solid materials is produced.
This watch is only for sale in the M.A.D. Gallery in Dubai.
