Presenting Legacy Machine Flying T by MB&F

MB&F announced a new addition to the celebrated FlyingT collection: the LM FlyingT Onyx. Since 2020, the collection has hosted a special gemstone dial every year, with previous editions in Lapis Lazuli, Malachite, Tiger Eye and Cœur de Rubis. The series is joined today by the sophisticated LM FlyingT Onyx, featuring the deep black gemstone encased in an 18k yellow gold case – a classic combination found in vintage watches.

Contrary to what one might think, the onyx dial is much more complex than a flat slab of gemstone: it is meticulously crafted 3-dimensionally, taking into account not only the asymmetrical cutout for the tourbillon, but also variable thicknesses to accommodate the technical requirements of the movement plate below. And to make things even more complex, the onyx is crafted into a dome.
