L3 BRONZE SPHERIC PURPLE
MDM.L3.BR.SPL
design by Fabian Schwaerzler
“The horizontal tri-compax layout, very popular among watch collectors, has on Schwaerzler’s work desk been reduced to lines – the raison d’être for the L series. “In design it is much harder to take away than to add. And you should not take away just for the sake of reduction, but to improve the function and the aesthetics”

Watch Specifications
Caliber C8100 Bronze
Our see-through cases, a blue, anti-reflective sapphire crystal reveals the vibrant caliber. You have the feeling of being able to see and feel the soul of the mechanical movement. The watch is alive. This movement is specially made to our quality standards by Concepto. It is a mechanical movement with hours, minutes and sweep second. Second stop device, eccentric fine adjustment Etachron, 28,800 vibrations per hour, 4 Hz, 27 jewels. Also available with an automatic movement. elegant bronze pushers
There in the bronze version: The pushers are the direct contact between clockwork and man. The stop function can be started, stopped and reset. The smooth, unscrewed pushers give the watch a fine retro elegance. This is underlined by the high-curved glass, with which the watch slides very gently under cuffs Bronze
We use a very individual bronze alloy sourced in Zurich. Bronze is anti-magnetic, resistant to wear, is 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 oxidised copper, the material offers lasting protection. The discolouration 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. L3 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.
Some watches tell the time. Others make it shine.
Perhaps that is precisely why the DJ duo Doppelgänger love the Pillow Ghost so much. Amid the beats, movement and people who want to lose track of time for a few hours, this watch feels remarkably at home. It dances along. On a wrist that plays music, follows rhythms and shapes the night. And while the lights flicker around it, its own glow gives time both clarity and meaning.
There is something lovely about that thought. A watch that comes most vividly to life in the very place where people would rather forget what time it is.
Pillow Ghost 👻
Because the Ghost has a special relationship with darkness. As daylight fades, its luminous dial comes to the fore. What is an exceptional piece of design by day becomes a small spectacle of light and time at night. The watch changes its appearance without losing its character. It becomes visible as so much around it disappears from view.

Oh my god, moving was a huge step for us! ❤️
Taking over our dad’s legacy has been one of the most beautiful gifts we could have received. And getting to do it together, as siblings, makes it even more special.
Wouldn’t be the same without our young, passionate team. So much love for what we do and for the people we do it with. ❤️

Our ZÜRI-DATE BRONZE PINK is a perfect fit for these autum days. The bronze has the warmth of fall, and the pink has the playfulness of summer. It’s a combination you might not necessarily expect. But as a family, we’ve never been particularly good at doing only what’s expected.
The best thing about bronze, anyway, is that it doesn’t care what it once looked like. It changes—with every day you wear it, in response to your skin, the weather, and your habits. It develops a patina that no one can predict. After a few months, your ZÜRI-DATE will look different from the one in the studio—and different from any other. Because by then, it will have become a part of you.

Indian Summer in Zurich 🍁💗
Sometimes all it takes is a sunny October Sunday to bring back a taste of summer. The family gets together, friends join in, jackets stay unbuttoned, and a short walk turns into an entire afternoon. One of those moments you’d love to hold onto forever.
We spent these last warm hours with our ZÜRI-DATE BRONZE PINK—a watch that tells a little more of your story with each passing day. With bronze that changes over time and a shade of pink that refuses to let summer go.
