We’re used to see absolutely incredible timepieces coming out from the Swiss watchmaker MB&F and this is just another timekeeping marvel from them. Imagined in collaboration with the renowned French watch designer Alain Silberstein, the MB&F LM1 Silberstein will be produced in thee different versions, each of them in very, very limited numbers.
This elegant timepiece will be available in either 18k red gold, grade 5 titanium, or black PVD-treated titanium, each of them produced in just 12 units and featuring a funky pop art decor. Silberstein’s love of red, blue and yellow is obvious the minute you get a glimpse of any of these watches, and even the two crowns feature the designer’s creative touch.
The LM1 Silberstein watch is powered by the same 3D movement of the LM1, which was initially developed for MB&F from Maximilian Büsser’s sketches. The manual-winding movement consists of 279 components, including 23 jewels, and features a 45-hour power reserve.
Each case comes with a quote from French novelist Gustave Flaubert, engraved on the caseband between the lugs: “Le vrai bonheur est d’avoir sa passion pour metier,” meaning “Making a profession of your passion is true happiness.”
The LM1 Silberstein will cost $92,000 (plus tax) in rose gold, while $83,000 is what you’ll have to pay for any of the titanium and black titanium versions. Which one caught your eye?
