L2 DLC METALLIC BLUE
MDM.L2.DLC.ME
design 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 in DLC, 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 in DLC, case-back
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

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. 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. 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.
Happy New Year 2026✨ A new year, a new chapter and endless possibilities ahead. This year will be all about exceptional watches, meaningful experiences and moments shared with new & old friends.
Thank you for being part of our story.
Let’s make this year one to remember 🙏🏻
Your Royal Dreifuss Family ❤️

Mastering Holiday Season Style with the L3 Small Seconds✨1x watch - 6 colors - 1000 ways to wear.
A watch that is launched directly with six colours does not expect you to match the watch. It wants to match: black, white and cherry blossom as well as spherical blue, spherical green and spherical burgundy (a first in our colour palette) make the L3 Small Seconds look like six different watches. Complemented by a brushed stainless steel case or a DLC-coated stainless steel case for a darker look, their elegance is very attractive to many. Combined with a leather or Milanese strap, even crossover with a Nato strap, almost anyone can get the watch that suits them perfectly.

Time is Love ❤️👀
At Christmas, time slows down. It becomes warmer. More attentive. More human.
Our father lived with passion. When he loved something, he stayed loyal to it. What mattered to him was never a logo or a label, but the feeling behind it. Colour. Energy. Consistency. Love, lived every day.
There is a small heart that has accompanied our family for many years. For us, it became a quiet symbol. A reminder to follow your heart, to stay compassionate, to think clearly, to live with colour and to remain open to the world.
Christmas reminds us of exactly that. Loyalty. Presence. The courage to care.
Time is not measured in minutes these days. It is measured in shared moments, familiar gestures and the people we choose to love.
Time is Love.
