L2 DLC DEEP BLACK
MDM.L2.DLC.BK
design by Fabian Schwaerzler
“Maurice de Mauriac‘s 42mm ‚L2‘ watch is optimised for divers. The DLC-coated stainless steel case is fitted with a helium release valve to protect the internal calibre ETA 28.24-2 power source even at 30 bar below the water‘s surface. The back of this Swiss-made piece is engraved with a sea lion – a fitting adaptation of the city of Zurich‘s mascot, the lion.”

L2 Helium release valve
During extreme diving situations, helium atoms make their way into the watch. As such, the process of decompression could dislodge the watch crystal. The helium release valve prevents this from occurring by allowing the excess pressure to escape via the valve and due to this, it is possible to dive below 300 meters. L2 Caseback
A watch like a lion, a sea lion. What animal is closely associated with people and is known for its skilful ability to dive to great depths? The sea lion. The backside of the L2 is adorned with this magnificent creature, whose manoeuvrability, elegance and function attuned to life underwater stand for a diving watch blending all of these traits. Given that the lion is the symbol of Zurich, the city that has shaped the evolution of this watch, it seems only appropriate that the sea lion should be the symbol of the Maurice de Mauriac L2. A roar – both below and above water – has been sent out from Maurice de Mauriac throughout the world. 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. L2 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. 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.

Chris Tille is an interdisciplinary artist and designer based in Zurich and Berlin (Switzerland/Germany).
No photography without light. German photographer and artist Chris Tille, who also integrates science into his work, is well aware of this. Instead of using traditional tools such as brushes and cameras, he analyzed the light for one of his series using a spectrometer.
Congratulation Chris! ✨

Made by Zurich – loved by Portofino 🇮🇹⛵️
We only work with selected retail partners. Such contacts often arise in places where our family members like to spend a lot of time. Portofino is one of these places. And now what belongs together has come together: Maurice de Mauriac and Gold for Ever by Valentina Cattaneo and a selection from our L series, which she offers to her customers there. Gold for Ever is also a family business - the chemistry is right and everyone knows the opportunities, challenges and passion of the other. We are delighted to be represented in this wonderful place.
