L1 DLC
MDM.L1.DLC.BK
design by Fabian Schwaerzler
Nomination Swiss Design Award 2019
Mr Fabian Schwaerzler is the man to thank for Maurice de Mauriac‘s ‘L1’ watch – he says it’s one of the designs he’s most proud of, and we can see why. This reference has a stainless steel case with a black Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating that’s abrasion- and scratch-resistant – it’s also anti-allergenic because it’s applied by vacuum. The 10 bar water resistance means it can be worn while washing your hands, showering and even swimming.

Watch Specifications
Automatic in DLC, side perspective
The cases for automatic watches are 11 mm tall and have a crown. The crown offers good grip and precise turning, thereby making adjustments to the watch very easy. The watch is water resistant to 10 ATM. This means that the watch can be worn, for example, while washing your hands, in the rain, in the shower, while washing the car, skiing, trekking or swimming.” automatic in DLC, caseback
Our display back case uses a blue anti-reflective sapphire crystal and thus allow for an unobstructed view of the pulsating calibre. One has the feeling that the soul of the mechanical automatic movement can both be felt and seen. The watch is alive. Together with the possibility of the custom labelled rotor, each watch becomes a truly personal gift – even to oneself. Caliber ETA 28.24-2
ETA 28.24-2 is one of the most famous Swiss watch movement.TOP Execution

DLC coating
Stainless steel or titanium with a DLC-coating (Diamond-Like-Carbon) stands out via its beautiful grey / black colour. DLC makes stainless steel extremely abrasion and scratch resistant. Moreover, the layer of carbon applied in a state-of-the-art vacuum process is also highly anti-allergenic. The darker, the brighter
Super-LumiNova is a brand name under which strontium aluminate–based non-radioactive and non-toxic photoluminescent or afterglow pigments for illuminating markings on watch dials, hands and bezels, etc. in the dark are marketed. This technology offers up to ten times higher brightness than previous zinc sulfide-based materials. When the luminescent pigments were stimulated by daylight or artificial light, they give off the light energy in the dark for several hours. This gives the watch extremely good legibility even in the dark. Personalised engraving
Together with an inscribed rotor, every watch becomes a highly emotional gift. Even to yourself. 1

L-Series
Fabian Schwaerzler, Swiss designer and as such purist, has chosen the line as a design element and thus designed the L-series, the line series, from the Bauhaus era into the present. They have become icons of watch design. His design allows the watches to be discreetly present, but also to fill the space. Follow the line. It will show you the beauty of time.
Monday Motivation? Buy a new car! Welcome to the MDM Family INEOS GRENADIER Fieldmaster #035! 🌍
We were looking for a long time for a replacement for our old Landy, which unfortunately was no longer fit enough for the wild everyday life of watch lovers in Zurich...:-) He had this & that… and at some point we didn’t want to torture him anymore.
If you love the old Landrovers, you will eventually come to the INEOS Grenadier. The worthy successor to the original Landrovers. At first we were a bit strange. But once you have sat in this car, you are spoiled for other cars.
With him we can drive everything to our events and even the smallest watch boutiques he moves through the city and Switzerland as if they were nothing. And now we come to the quality and the mechanics – typical for watch souls: terrific!
He will now be embellished a bit and then he will drive through Zurich, bringing watches, hollowing watches, Totoro will stick his nose out of the window and it is often like in the old days, when Daniel drove through the city, many waved, conversations arose, watch fascination that jumped like sparks from one to the other. See you...

We did it! We were part of the SÄCHSILÜÜTE 2025! ⛄️💥 We can say that we are very attached to Zurich. It is our home. Zurich is the heart of our brand. Zurich is both an inspiration and a challenge.
With the Sächsilüüte, however, we have come even closer to Zurich. Not only did we create the official Sächsilüüte watch together with the ZZZ. We were also invited by Urs Bucher to walk with the @zunft_zu_wiedikon . An incredibly intense experience. 🌈💐🌸
We look back on the Sächsilüüte with our arms full of flowers and our hearts full of emotion. Thank you to everyone who experienced this day with us.
Massimo, Leonard, Masha
and the whole Dreifuss family

Welcome “Züri Date” SÄCHSILÜÜTE⛄️💥
The only mechanical watch that speaks Züridüütsch, from the only watch manufacturer in Zurich. A mechanical watch could not be more Zurich. But the Züri-Date SÄCHSILÜÜTE is even more.
She not only speaks the language of Zurich,
but also remembers the most important day in Zurich. The Sächsilüüte. As this always takes place on Mondays, SÄCHSILÜÜTE is written where MÄNTIG is usually written. And at 6 pm on the dot, the Böögg appears on the dial. As befits a Zurich watch, all of this is made here in Zurich with an automatic movement in the traditional craftsmanship. Now available online and in our workshop.
#MauriceDeMauriac #MDM #Sächsilüüte #uhr #watch #böögg #zurich #spring #festival
The Böögg now has its own watch! ⛄️💥
Together with the Central Committee of Zurich’s guilds, we have designed a timepiece especially for Sechseläuten.
Time plays an important role at Sechseläuten. When the churches in the old town chime at 6 p.m. sharp, the Böögg is on its way out. The shorter it takes for his head to explode, the better the summer will be. We took this as an opportunity to launch a clock together with the Central Committee of the Zurich Guilds (ZZZ).
