WARM & WONDERFUL X MAURICE DE MAURIAC “BLACK SHEEP”
The ‘Black Sheep’ design has now made its way into watch culture through a luminous collaboration between Zurich-based watch brand Maurice de Mauriac and Warm & Wonderful to celebrate the 45th anniversary of the original knitwear company revitalised by Rowing Blazers.
Limited to 45 pieces, the ‘Black Sheep’ edition fits most wrists with its 39mm case, traditionally used in the brand’s Classic collection and tennis-inspired Rallymaster series. It is powered by a Swiss Landeron automatic movement and comes with not one, but two two-piece stretch textile straps specially developed for Maurice de Mauriac – one black and one white, both with a red centre line, which can be worn according to the wearer’s mood or style.

Watch Specifications
The PVD-Case back
The case back is made of solid, polished stainless steel with a PVD coating and engraved sheep logo.The watch is equipped with not just one, but two two-piece textile flex straps specially developed for Maurice de Mauriac - a black and a white one, both with a red centre line, which can be worn as the mood takes you or as the occasion demands.
Black screw-down crown
The case is 12 mm high. The black crown is easy to grip and can be turned precisely so that the watch can be set with great ease. The water resistance is 10 ATM. This means that the watches can be worn when washing hands, in the rain, when washing up and showering, when washing the car, when skiing, trekking and, of course, diving. The Watchbox
The set contains a specially made black sheep and a specially made, two-piece stretchable textile flex strap, with a quick-change system for changing the straps quickly and independently.The watch box also includes a ‘Black Sheep’ patch that can be knit anywhere to underline the symbolic distinctive identity and the significance of being the odd one out.
The darker the lighter
Super-LumiNova is a phosphorescent phosphor and is free from radioactive additives. Super LumiNova is a hundred times brighter than other inactive luminescent pigments. When the luminous pigments are stimulated by daylight or artificial light, they release the light energy they have absorbed over several hours in the dark. This makes the watch extremely easy to read, even in the dark. The darker the brighter In an era of globalization, individuality is more and more valued.
In a politically correct era where there is pressure to behave according to socially acceptable conventions, being a black sheep means one rejects to conform. For those free spirits who refuse to run with the pack, Maurice de Mauriac and Warm & Wonderful have created a seminal collaborative timepiece: the ‘Black Sheep’.Diana was a perfect symbol for the so-called black sheep:
She stood outside the royal norm and was particularly loved for it. That suits us, as Maurice de Mauriac is always a little outside the mainstream and is loved for it. When the question arose as to whether we wanted to make such a ‘Diana watch’, we immediately embraced the idea. 1

Special Edition
A Swiss flying squadron wears our watches at supersonic speeds, our watches have accompanied them on the long journey to the moon, they have chased felt balls, plunged down mountains, rowed across the Atlantic, conquered the desert and been on the world's stages. Not just like that, but as a collaboration in which two names proudly adorn a watch. The collaborators are world-famous or only known in their own world. For us, they are heroes. Each for themselves. And each for you.
Enjoy the final supermoon of 2025 🪩 - with the matching watch.

Carlos Leal lives life at his own pace – with our watch
Musician, actor, nomad: Leal doesn’t think in terms of categories, but in terms of movement. Growing up in Lausanne as the son of Spanish immigrants, he experienced the tension between family warmth and Swiss precision from an early age – a tension that shaped his creativity.
As a hip-hop artist with Sens Unik, he made his mark on the sound of the 1990s. Leal continued to follow his inner rhythm – into acting. Snow White was his breakthrough, followed by international productions such as Casino Royale and engagements in Hollywood.

A border crosser with a sense of rhythm – Carlos Leal
Some people wear time like an accessory. Others feel time as an inner pulse – rhythm, attitude, energy. Carlos Leal is one of the latter.
His path is not a straight line, but an elegant curve through life – sweeping like the hands of a watch. It is precisely this attitude that connects him to us and our watches. Carlos wears our moon phase not as a status symbol, but as a companion to an attitude: attentive, curious, always on the move. An artist who doesn’t measure time, but lives it – and thus fits in perfectly with us.

Our watches take a little time if you want to look at them closely. This year, the Polarzauber at Zurich’s main station offers the perfect setting to do so, softening winter with long and wonderful encounters with our timepieces. It’s going to be a beautiful Christmas season with you.
