MB&F is celebrating its 20th anniversary with two stunning limited-edition timepieces: the LM Perpetual Longhorn and the LM Sequential Flyback Longhorn. Known for their creativity and boundary-pushing designs, MB&F has consistently defied traditional watchmaking conventions. However, the brand has taken a more restrained approach for these two anniversary models—bringing back the long-lug style first explored with the one-off LM1 Longhorn in 2021. These 20th-anniversary releases nod to the original while showcasing MB&F’s mastery of contemporary design and intricate complications.
The LM Perpetual Longhorn is a testament to MB&F’s engineering prowess. Featuring a perpetual calendar movement co-created with Stephen McDonnell, this watch offers a highly intuitive and efficient design that avoids the common complexities of traditional perpetual calendars. With a 44mm stainless steel case, a skeletonized dial, and a large balance wheel suspended over the dial, this watch is a bold statement of elegance and functionality. At 17.5mm thick, it’s a watch meant to be seen.
On the other hand, the LM Sequential Flyback Longhorn is a marvel of complexity. Equipped with two chronographs, multiple sub-dials, and a groundbreaking “Twinverter” function that allows for a range of timing modes, this watch is a tribute to McDonnell’s ingenuity. It has 619 components and a 72-hour power reserve, all housed in a sleek 44mm case. Both pieces are limited to just 20 units, priced at $184,000 each, making them a rare and highly coveted addition to any watch collection.
