Stephen Silver Fine Jewelry Reveals New Exclusive MB&F LEGACY MACHINE PERPETUAL EVO Silicon Valley Edition Timepiece Series
In a remarkable collaboration that showcases the pinnacle of horological artistry, Stephen Silver Fine Jewelry has partnered with the renowned Swiss watchmaker MB&F to unveil the exclusive Legacy Machine Perpetual EVO Silicon Valley Edition. This limited series of just 18 timepieces, each priced at $208,000 USD, is available exclusively through Stephen Silver Fine Jewelry at The Villa Menlo Park, a premier destination for luxury timepieces in Silicon Valley.
A Historic First for MB&F
The Legacy Machine Perpetual EVO Silicon Valley Edition marks a significant milestone for MB&F, as it is the first time the brand has crafted its popular EVO sports model in a precious metal—specifically, 18 karat rose gold. This exquisite timepiece features a striking blue dial plate and offers a choice between a white or blue rubber strap, ensuring both elegance and comfort. The rose gold case back is engraved with the model’s name, further enhancing its exclusivity.
The early response to this limited series has been overwhelmingly positive, with only a few models remaining available for pre-sale. This collaboration reflects the close relationship between the Silvers and MB&F’s Founder and Creative Director, Maximilian Büsser. The launch also anticipates the opening of Northern California’s new MB&F LAB at The Villa Menlo Park in early 2025, a mixed-use development that promises to be a hub for retail, dining, and community engagement.
Design Innovations and Personal Touches
Jared Silver, President of Stephen Silver Fine Jewelry, expressed his enthusiasm for the project, stating, “We were happy to be able to provide some design input. Along with the color scheme, small changes were made like updating the hands to rose gold. We enhanced the legibility while maintaining the beautiful symmetry of the watch. I am biased, of course, but I think this is one of the most attractive versions of the LM Perpetual EVO yet released. It will also be highly collectible over time as it is the first EVO MB&F made with a precious metal.”
The Legacy Machine Perpetual EVO: A New Era in Horology
MB&F’s creations are known for their imaginative designs that transport wearers to fantastical realms. The EVO line, introduced in 2020, marked a significant evolution in the brand’s offerings, allowing wearers to navigate their active lifestyles without sacrificing style. The LM Perpetual EVO series is a celebration of this ethos, combining cutting-edge technology with timeless elegance.
The new edition features a 44mm case that emphasizes openness and clarity, showcasing the intricate mechanics within. A specially developed monobloc shock-absorbing system, known as the “FlexRing,” enhances the robustness of the timepiece, making it the most durable model to emerge from MB&F.
The Mechanical Marvel: LM Perpetual Engine
At the heart of the LM Perpetual EVO is the award-winning perpetual calendar movement designed by Stephen McDonnell. This innovative mechanical processor redefines traditional watchmaking by utilizing a series of superimposed disks that account for the varying number of days in each month. This ensures that the date is always accurate, eliminating the risk of incorrect date jumps.
The design of the LM Perpetual EVO also includes enlarged double-sprung oblong actuators for adjusting the perpetual calendar, enhancing tactile comfort and ease of use. Additionally, the watch is rated for water resistance up to 80 meters, thanks to its screw-down crown, which prevents over-winding.
A Collectible Masterpiece
The Legacy Machine Perpetual EVO Silicon Valley Edition is not just a timepiece; it is a work of art that embodies the spirit of innovation and luxury. With its limited availability and unique features, it is poised to become a highly sought-after collectible in the world of fine watchmaking.
As the anticipation builds for the opening of the MB&F LAB in Silicon Valley, the Legacy Machine Perpetual EVO serves as a testament to the enduring partnership between Stephen Silver Fine Jewelry and MB&F. This exclusive timepiece encapsulates the essence of both brands—where tradition meets innovation, and artistry meets functionality.
In conclusion, the Legacy Machine Perpetual EVO Silicon Valley Edition is a remarkable achievement in horology, representing the best of Swiss craftsmanship and the unique vision of MB&F. For collectors and enthusiasts alike, this timepiece is not just a watch; it is a statement of style, sophistication, and a passion for the extraordinary.
