WATCHES & TIMEPIECES
About the FlyingT engine
In a departure from most modern watch movements , which take a radial and co-planar approach to movement construction , the LM FlyingT engine utilises a vertical and co-axial approach . The cinematic flying tourbillon , which boldly projects beyond the dial-plate of LM FlyingT , is a visually stunning example of the rotating escapement and stands in stark contrast to other flying tourbillons , which usually do not venture past the confines of their surrounding watch dials .
Flying tourbillons , as their name suggests , are anchored only at their base , with no stabilising bridge to restrict lateral motion at the top . This increased need for overall rigidity is what causes the conservative placement of most flying tourbillons within their movements . Legacy Machine FlyingT breaks free of this limiting need for movement security and confidently displays its flying tourbillon in all its glory .
In order to display the time as precisely as possible on the 50 ° inclined dial , conical gears were employed to optimally transmit torque from one plane to another . The 280-component engine of Legacy Machine FlyingT has a power reserve of four days ( 100 hours ), which is among the highest within MB & F .
