LM1’s movement bears testimony to the talent of its creators Jean-François Mojon and Kari Voutilainen. Geneva waves, highly polished gold chatons and bridges with impeccably executed bevels following deliberate internal angles showcase the absolutely peerless fine-finishing. LM1 was awarded the Public Prize and the Best Men’s Watch Prize at the 2012 Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève.
MB&F has generously offered a complimentary service for the successful buyer of this watch within six months after purchase, including shipping fee of the watch to the MB&F atelier in Switzerland and a one-year warranty will also be provided.
