MB&F has collaborated with enamel artist Gabriel Colliard to create a limited edition series of the LM101, featuring hand-crafted cloisonné enamel dials. The series consists of 24 pieces, divided into three jungle-themed designs, each limited to 8 units.
- Limited to 24 pieces total (8 per design)
- Price: $131,000
- 60-hour power reserve
- 30 meters water resistance
The dials are executed in cloisonné enamel, a technique using hand-bent gold wires to create compartments filled with enamel and then fired.
The three designs feature a scarlet macaw in red, a monkey in blue, and a crocodile in green, with varying enamel opacities for visual contrast.
The architecture of the LM101, with its openings for hands and balance bridge arches, presented a unique challenge for the enamel work.
The sub-dials for time and power reserve are removed, requiring approximation for reading the watch.
Gabriel Colliard also decorated the ratchet wheel on the movement, which is co-developed by MB&F and Kari Voutilainen.
The strap features a stainless steel leaf-spring deployant buckle with a white gold cover, which the reviewer notes is not platinum.
