For its 20th caliber, the company has come to the table with a chronograph that outperforms all its predecessors.
Designed in collaboration with watchmaker Stephen McDonnell, who previously worked with the brand on its LM Perpetual watch, the new LM Sequential EVO—which is equipped with the company’s 20th caliber in 17 years— is not only a first for the brand, but it’s also the first chronograph to allow multiple timing modes, including split-second and lap timer modes thanks to a “Twinverter” binary switch.
But before we get into how it works, here’s a little backstory on how it was born. MB&F founder Maximillian Büsser and McDonnell were having dinner in Dubai when Büsser decided to show off his latest acquisition—a split-second chronograph pocket watch that he says he was very proud of and bought for a steal. McDonnell was less than impressed, however.
So, what did Mad Max and his fellow watchmaking wizard come up with? On the LM Sequential EVO there is one movement operating two chronographs that can track multiple timing modes. To begin with, the right chronograph is activated or stopped by the top right pusher, while the left chronograph is activated or stopped by the top left pusher. The bottom left and right pushers are used to reset their respective coordinating chronographs.
This is leaps and bounds better than timing with a normal chronograph, where you would have to stop the counter and write down the time and start it again, but by then the second lap would have already started and your timing would already be off. With MB&F’s new and improved version, you can stop the time on the first lap while the timing for the second has started immediately with no lag, allowing you enough time to record the reading in the meantime.
What looks like an ultra-complicated timepiece on the surface—and it is, indeed a feat of watchmaking mechanics, technically speaking, with 585 components and a movement that required five years of research—is actually the most logical, accurate and easy-to-use chronograph ever made. “Stephen is—obviously, I will say—the only genius that ever met,” says Büsser. “He’s insane.
