MB & F Legacy Machine Thunderdome-Three World Firsts:

The first collaboration between legends Eric Coudray and Kari Voutilainen.HYT H1 BLUE 148–TG-32-BF-AG


The proprietary new "TriAx" mechanism has 3 axes that rotate at different speeds and on different planes, breaking records of 8 seconds, 12 seconds and 20 seconds.


A unique combination of Porter escapement, hemisphere balance and spiral spring.

What if you could take advantage of the raw power and wonder of Thunderbolt in your watch?

Meteorological science tells us that when cold and warm currents meet, all kinds of severe weather can occur. Storms, peculiar atmospheric conditions and even tornadoes will follow. So when two very different masters of watchmaking came together-one legendary innovator from Valle de Rou was famous for his unorthodox, jaw-dropping complexity, and Famous perfectionists and pillars of acclaimed traditional craftsmanship-traditional watchmakers in Mortis-look for lightning on the case. horizon.

The rotating spherical objects of gears, pinions and cages are raised and are located on the blue guillotine. Somehow, order was extracted from the chaos of this movement. The display of time on the slanted lacquered dial proves that even the wildest clock whirlwind can be subdued into the logic of hours and minutes.Jacob & Co. ASTRONOMIA SKY AT110.30.AA.SD.A

Maximilian Büsser, MB & F's founder, said: "One of the many things that makes me very happy is that we have to convene two people I admire in this industry. They are very talented, have A completely different style and personality. There has never been an opportunity for cooperation. "

Once taken, such opportunities can reshape the entire landscape. MB & F's only original instruction to Eric Coudray was "to make the craziest and most cinematic three-axis tourbillon of all time." Under the premise of free creation, Coudray created something completely new in his experience: a transcendence of tradition mechanism. Tourbillon, the proprietary new MB & F "TriAx".

The new TriAx mechanism shown in the Legacy Machine Thunderdome implements MB & F's instructions to Eric Coudray in an amazing way. The three-axis rotary escapement has a streamlined structure that transcends traditional and modern traditions. Instead of a reasonable (and troublesome) system that associates a cage with each axis of rotation, TriAx uses a three-axis, two-cage configuration to oppose logic, making Thunderdome's beating rotating heart unprecedented .replica watches swiss

On the bold second itinerary from the Kudray Cyclone-his name is synonymous with 21 bold watchmaking techniques in the 21st century-LM Thunderdome's three-axis mechanism uproots our watchmaking escapement with the most familiar concept. Controlling the rate at which energy escapes from the barrel is an unusual Porter escapement, which uses a fixed escapement wheel instead of a mobile escapement wheel, which can be seen in almost every modern rotary escapement. Potter's fixed escapement wheel escapement-named 19 -century clock maker and inventor Albert H. Potter-allows higher rotation speeds in such a mechanism.

Integrating a fixed escapement wheel into a three-axis rotation mechanism has never been done before, but the LM Thunderdome does it for a good reason. High-speed rotation consumes a lot of energy. The innermost frame completes one revolution in 8 seconds, the middle frame rotates every 12 seconds, and the outermost frame rotates every 20 seconds.

Another advantage of the Porter escapement is that it frees up more space for the balance and hairspring, so that you can better appreciate another new development: the balance wheel of the LM Thunderdome uses a hemispherical form to surround the spiral hairspring, The result is unprecedented adjustment of the organ in modern and classic watchmaking.cheapest replica watches

In the 15 years since this mechanism debuted in the watch industry, even an experienced watch connoisseur who is very familiar with multi-axis tourbillons, the Legacy Machine Thunderdome is eye-opening. Not only is it faster, but its components are whizzing at a dazzling speed-it's bigger, thanks to the offset axis of the outermost cage which increases the overall displacement of the balance and its placement It's different. The apparent dome of the sapphire crystal dome allows Eric Coudray's work to sit completely above the dial, visible from all sides.

The reverse operation of the LM Thunderdome engine also benefits you, although it is difficult to open your eyes from the glasses on the side of the dial. The manual winding three barrel movement may be technically conceived by Eric Coudray, but its aesthetic concept is entirely Kari Voutilainen.

There were countless exchanges between the two watchmakers, until Coudray's engine design gained impeccable vitality, showing a classic and elegant form. The smooth and rounded bridge combines the sharp hand-beveled internal angles and mirror curves, suggesting a calm and firm calm, fixing the turbulent vortex on the other side. Kari Voutilainen applied his proprietary finishing style to ratchets for the first time in MB & F works. This technology imparts a circular surface with a snake-like flicker effect, capturing light in the form of S-shaped waves. In the Voutilainen workshop, this technology is a closely guarded secret that requires years of experience and special tools to perform.U-BOAT Chimera replica watches

LM Thunderdome has two limited editions:

– Platinum 950 with light blue guilloché dial;

-Tantalum commemorates the 40th Asia-Pacific Retail Group's hourglass anniversary with a dark blue carved dial and inlaid dial.

The MB & F Legacy Machine Thunderdome is the culmination of four years of development, an unprecedented collaboration between the two most respected watch thinkers today, Eric Coudray and Kari Voutilainen. Although the technical construction originated from Coudray, it was Voutilainen that turned the mechanism into a sophisticated aesthetic movement residing in the LM Thunderdome.

Although the latter task may seem simple compared to technology development, it actually creates more difficulties than it implies. The complex and subtle relationship between the 413 components of the LM Thunderdome engine makes each fine-tuning an extended exercise in mechanical reconfiguration. The movement diameter is only 35 millimeters, the proportion design is emphasized proportionally, and the margin of error is much smaller. Even bridges that are too wide by a millimeter, or bridges with pinions that have moved a few micrometers to either side, stand out immediately and are clearly misaligned.

Voutilainen said: "In such a complex project, for a variety of reasons, I chose the traditional method of hand-painted movements rather than using computer software. It gave me a better ratio and choice for aesthetics and functionality a feeling of."
