Why we chose it

A note from the PRJKT8 team

We chose it because the LM101’s floating balance is usually the whole show, and here it shares the stage with a painting made in fire. Gabriel Colliard finishes about one dial a month, so the 24 watches will take MB&F more than two years. Only eight of this scene will exist.

The watch

MB&F gave one of its best-loved Machines to the enameller Gabriel Colliard and let him draw his own jungle. This one shows a mischievous monkey among fruit beside a blue lake, outlined in fine gold wire and built up in layer after fired layer of cloisonné enamel.

The scene runs around the LM101’s floating 14 mm balance; MB&F lengthened the hands and removed the sub-dials to make room. Turn it over and the ratchet wheel is enamelled to match. The 40 mm platinum case holds the upgraded hand-wound calibre, now with 60 hours of reserve.

Eight pieces, and Gabriel finishes about one dial a month. MB&F decides each allocation itself; tell us if you would like to be considered.
