World's first watch triptych completed: L-Series
It all began with a conversation between Daniel Dreifuss and the well-known Swiss designer Fabian Schwaerzler. This was followed by an incredibly intensive design process, which ended with two satisfied men and the L1. A casual watch of the highest mastery in reduction. The makers and designers also went through this process with the L2, the most unique diver's watch of the last few decades. It was difficult to maintain this level in a chronograph. It has been surpassed once again - the L3 is complete.
Schwaerzler was inspired by the Zurich School of Concrete Art as well as classics of this type of watch, from where he continued to develop in a straight line - completing the L(inien) series. It has become a class of its own and thus a worthy part of the L-series watch triptych. We call it a cuff watch because it gently caresses cuffs and suit sleeves with its low case height and high-domed crystal. The design of the dial also gently caresses the eye. It is striking because it doesn't want to stand out and yet it does. You don't have to read the time because it couldn't be clearer. The pushers are recognisable as such and easy to operate - here too, clarity and function, being before appearance.
Equipped with a manual winding system, the Concepto ‘Tricompax 99001’ hand-wound, which was brought to maturity for us, it demands attention. For watch lovers, it is a pleasure to feel the watch being wound. The back, facing the wearer, is even finished in double-sided anti-reflective sapphire crystal. With the L3, one should become aware of time, use it consciously, give it beauty. Triptychs are originally religious forms of representation, have a deep-rooted tradition and are now being revived in extremely modern art forms. This is exactly what the L3 is, the combination of old and new time in a chronograph that will find adoration as part of the watch triptych of the L3 series.
