Watches World - Men's and women's MB&F watches.
In just 17 years of existence, the MB&F brand has created 20 watch movements. Agree, solid baggage for such a young brand. The latest for today, the 20th development of Max Busser and the company, goes beyond the usual ideas about watches.
MB&F makes timepieces that excite the most ardent watch lover, who is also coincidentally a sci-fi and robotics lover.
We are talking about the first chronograph of the brand, which recently received the main award in the Swiss watch industry – the Golden Arrow of the Geneva Grand Prix of Watchmaking, it is also in everyday language the watch Oscar. What is so special about the Legacy Machine Sequential EVO model, which breaks the generally accepted ideas about the chronograph design?
Max Busser does not like to offer standard solutions, so two independent chronograph modules were packed into the 44 mm case of the model at once. Two pairs of counters on the dial accompany two pairs of buttons on the sides of the case. In other words, each of these pairs can be started, stopped and reset the received readings independently of the other.
At first glance, it may seem that we have a complicated version of the split chronograph, but Max Busser assures that the possibilities of the model are much wider. At the "9 o'clock" mark, the 5th button is located on the case, which even has a separate name Twinverter. It is connected to both chronograph modules and is designed to switch the start and stop functions.
In practice, this means that if both timings are stopped, pressing the Twinverter button starts the simultaneous restart of two chronographs. In the reverse situation, the button will provide a simultaneous stop of the timing. In the third case, when one chronograph is turned on and the second is turned off, they will "switch modes", i.e. pressing the button will stop the chronograph turned on and start the stopped one.
In practice, this gives the watch the opportunity to work in 4 different modes.
The first mode, independent, measures the time of several (in this case two) events that start and end at different times and may overlap at the same time.
The second mode, simultaneous, implies simultaneous start and different end times of two events. I think the classic example of two athletes or racers starting at the same time is pretty boring for everyone. But it is extremely clear.
Summary mode allows you to measure the total duration of two different events, each of which lasts intermittently. You can come up with an example yourself, but a chess game is usually used for illustration. Well, or classes on different simulators during training.
Finally, the fourth, step-by-step mode, also known as lap memory mode or laptimer mode, is suitable for measuring several time intervals within a single event that takes place in several stages. Here again, an example of racing and measuring individual lap times is appropriate.
