MB&F, in collaboration with watchmaker Stephen McDonnell, has reintroduced the LM Sequential Chronograph, now featuring a flyback function. This update follows the brand’s 2022 Aiguille d’Or win at the GPHG for its first chronograph, the LM Sequential EVO. Creating a novel chronograph is a significant challenge, but McDonnell’s imaginative design has taken it to a new level with this latest release.

Key Features
The LM Sequential Flyback maintains the innovative design of the LM Sequential EVO, featuring five pushers and two independent yet integrated chronographs. These chronographs can operate separately, simultaneously, or inversely (starting one and instantly stopping the other) with the pusher at nine o’clock. The new model, however, adopts a more classic aesthetic, resembling the traditional Legacy Machine line with dressier touches such as white lacquered domed subdials and a sky blue mainplate.

Design and Specifications
The LM Sequential Flyback boasts a substantial 44mm by 18.2mm platinum case, retaining the five pushers from the previous model. The lower pushers at five o’clock and seven o’clock are labeled “flyback,” highlighting the updated mechanism envisioned by McDonnell. Other features include:

• Case Material: Platinum
• Dial Colour: Sky blue dial plate with white lacquered tilted hours and minutes sub-dial at six o’clock
• Indexes: White lacquered domed chronograph rings with blued hands, 60-second rings at nine and three o’clock, and 30-minute elapsed times at 11 and one o’clock
• Water Resistance: 30m
• Strap/Bracelet: Alligator leather strap with white gold folding buckle

Movement and Mechanics
The watch is powered by a manually wound movement operating at a 3Hz frequency with a 72-hour power reserve, thanks to the double mainspring. The movement, designed by Stephen McDonnell, incorporates patented jewelled vertical clutches to reduce friction and ensure the smooth operation of the flyback function. This design also includes a jewelled roller for improved precision and energy efficiency.

Market Impact
The introduction of the LM Sequential Flyback signifies MB&F’s ongoing commitment to innovation in horology. The combination of traditional aesthetics and advanced mechanics makes this timepiece a standout in both sport and dress contexts. Limited to just 33 pieces and priced at $218,000, the LM Sequential Flyback is expected to attract significant attention from watch enthusiasts and collectors alike.
