L2 GMT BRONZE BLACK
MDM.L2.BR.BK-2-1-1
design by Fabian Schwaerzler
“The clear, unadorned lines of the L Series are perfect for a diver’s iteration, which is as much substance as it is style: waterproof to 300m, Zurich bronze case and a helium outlet valve are other features. What does that mean? Nothing less than the ability to make a long saturation dive without worrying that your sapphire glass will fall off when you finally reappear and relax.”

To indicate GMT, the L2 has another hour hand, which is typically arrow-shaped than the 12-hour hand. In contrast to the hour hand, the GMT hand circles the dial once within 24 hours, i.e. only half as fast, so you can also set and keep an eye on the time in another time zone.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, due to this special valve, 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 skillful ability to dive to great depths? The sea lion. The backside of the L2 is adorned with this magnificent creature, whose maneuverability, elegance and function is attuned to life underwater. Represents 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.Bronze
We use a very individual bronze alloy sourced in Zurich. Bronze is anti-magnetic, resistant to wear, elastic, slightly more brittle, and 10% heavier than stainless steel. Above all, it stands out due to its resistance to seawater. Beneath a layer of oxidized copper, the material offers lasting protection. The discoloration of the bronze is particularly appealing and means that every watch, over time, evolves into a unique piece—one solely influenced by the life of the watch owner. While bronze can stain, these stains are usually removed in the normal laundry process. L2 GMT – 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 light energy in the dark for several hours. This gives the watch extremely good clarity even in the dark.1

L-Series
Fabian Schwaerzler, Swiss designer and purist, has chosen the simple line as the core, clean, minimal design element and thus gave birth to the L-Series. Connecting the line series from the Bauhaus era, to the present Icons of watch design they have since become. His minimalist design allows the watches to be discreetly present, yet in addition, fill the void. Follow the line. This series will show you the beauty of time.
Homo Faber — An Island of Light. ✨
An entire island celebrating the people who make things by hand.
One of the most beautiful exhibitions we have seen , because at its heart is an idea we deeply believe in: craftsmanship matters.
Every room is another universe. Different materials, different traditions, different hands, but always the same obsession with detail, precision and creating something that lasts.
It felt very close to what we believe:
Our watches are not made to simply tell time. They are objects shaped by people, attention and countless small details. From the first sketch to the final hand finishing, it is the human touch that makes a watch feel like more than an object.
Homo Faber celebrates the makers.
We celebrate them too.
Because in a world of mass production, there is something quietly powerful about making fewer things — and making them well.
If you are in Venice, go. If you’re not — perhaps this is a good reason to come. 🇮🇹

72 hours in Venice 🇮🇹
Couldn’t fit more food or drinks into these 3 days…
We were just talking about how lucky we are that we get to travel together as siblings, and all three of us couldn’t be more grateful for everything we get to experience together. Sharing it makes everything so much more fun and meaningful. Wouldn’t be the same otherwise. ❤️
If you need some Venice inspiration, hit us up haha - we got you!!
Walked 15k, ate and drank like kings & queens all day long!
See you soon again, Venice! 🤍 #mauricedemauriac #venice #homofaber #italy #watches
When Russell invites you to the Venice Film Festival, you arrive in style. ✨
What an honor and privilege to be part of the chosen small crew witnessing the premiere of Russell’s heart project: WHAT LOVE BUILDS ❤️
His biography, documenting 47 years of making music and the incredible journey behind it, was brought to life on the big screen in the sold-out Sala Grande at the Venice Film Festival — and honestly, it was simply out of this world.
From Zurich, to Australia, and now to Venice… we couldn’t be more proud to have been a small part of Russell’s journey over the past year.
What a year it has been for us. ❤️
Thank you so much, Russell. We truly appreciate it all and never take any of these incredible moments for granted.
Here’s to music, friendship, unforgettable experiences, and a year we will never forget. 🥂✨

From the stands to the big screen. 💙🤍
Still trying to take this one in…
Seeing our video live in the stadium in front of 18,000+ people was a moment we’ll never forget.
Growing up in Zürich, going to FCZ games since we were kids, we never imagined that one day we’d see something we created being shown in the stadium in front of thousands of people.
From watching the games in the stands to seeing our work on the big screen — what a feeling. 🥹
130 years of FCZ. We couldn’t be more proud to be a small part of it.
A dream come true. 💙🤍⚽️
