For quite some time now, there is a trend of putting balance wheels out in the open.

A good artist knows how to put on a show; a great artist knows when to quit. This sounds like an obvious statement, but in the watch world, watches do not quit, they disappear.

Not at MB&F, who is giving the Legacy Machine 1 a proper goodbye, when it is actually at the height of its popularity, with a final edition.
