L3 DEEP BLUE
MDM.L3.ST.DBE.ME-1
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
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 manual wind movement with hours, minutes and sweep second. Second stop device, eccentric fine adjustment Etachron, 28,800 vibrations per hour, 4 Hz, 25 jewels. Also available with an automatic movement. Elegant Pushers
Here in the silver stainless steel 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 Steel
Not all steels are created equal. We use 316L stainless steel; one of the hardest premium steels in the world. In addition to its hardness and resistance, this high-quality steel stands out because of its finish as well as it very fine silver hue. 316L steel has a significantly lower nickel emission than, for instance, 904L steel, which is also a high-strength steel alloy. This is, for us, a reason to favour 316L stainless steel. 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.
Only a few people can drive the Mille Miglia. ❤️🏁
We have the Mille Miglia feeling for you.
The most beautiful race in the world is currently running, the race that wrote legends and still moves people’s hearts today. It’s not just any race - it’s the Mille Miglia, the legendary road race that transformed Italy into a stage for heroes from 1927 to 1957. The Mille Miglia was always more than just a race. It was an epic battle against nature, time and the limits of human ability.
For hours on end, the drivers drove 1,000 miles through the picturesque but challenging Italian countryside - from Brescia to Rome and back. The route led through fog, gravel roads and city junctions where only courage, skill and madness made the difference. Legends were born along the way: Nuvolari, who overtook Brivio in the dark with skill and courage, barely visible to the cameras. Or the British racing driver Moss, who averaged 157 km/h - with paper maps wrapped in a roll around his arm.
The Mille Miglia was always more than just a race; it embodied speed, style and an unbridled passion for competition. Drivers risked everything to achieve glory.
All this is in our L3 SPHERIC RED. It lets you ride the Mille Miglia all day long, when the (racing) drivers are already back at home or in the office.

Winner Photo of this Years Maurice De Mauriac Award is „Traces of Light“ #013 of @chris.tille 🌈📷
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! ✨
