LIMITED EDITION 100 PIECES

“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”

Here in the black DLC version: The pushers are the direct contact between movement and human. 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 sapphire crystal, with which the watch slides very gently under cuffs DLC coating

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.
It is an absolute honor to be associated with Les Clefs d’Or and create a special edition chronograph in collaboration with our ‘neighbors’ Luc Frieseisen, President of the Les Clefs d’Or Suisse and Concierce at The Dolder Grand Zurich

The Maurice de Mauriac L3 Les Clefs d’Or is no ordinary timepiece. A see- through caseback allows a glimpse of the automatic movement with personalized rotor featuring the Les Clefs d’Or insignia plus the name & membership number of each concierge individually engraved. Members can use chronograph functions to time various activities associated with their role. Its balanced proportions provide optimal wearability for any type of wrist and the rich gradient blue hue on the dial is truly mesmerizing, promoting an excellent contrast to the golden hands/indexes and case. Avaible in stainless steel or stainless steel with an gold PVD coating.

Based on the L3 Spheric Blue tricompax chronograph with fumé blue dial and housed either in an unprecedented stainless steel case with gold PVD coating, the L3 Les Clefs d’Or features the minimalistic outlook authored by award-winning Basel designer Fabian Schwaerzler — and is highlighted by the golden crossed keys in the hour register at 6 o’clock. Symbolically, the iconic logo also represents the access key to the watch: only Les Clefs d’Or associates are eligible to get one.
« The specific color combination we chose is no coincidence. It’s true that, in some European countries, the expression ‘blue over gold’ means something is perfect. But, most of all, blue and gold are Les Clefs d’Or corporate colors», says Leonard Dreifuss, Maurice de Mauriac’s Creative Director

THE GOLDEN WATCH FOR LES CLEFS D’OR 🔑💛
From Zurich to New York, Paris to Tokyo and everywhere in between, no one knows the world like Les Clefs d’Or. Founded in 1952, the prestigious organization partnered with us to create its own official timepiece. Noblesse oblige!
These concierges are only found in first-class five-star hotels and can be recognised by the crossed keys on their revers. Until now. From now on, these insiders will be increasingly recognisable by their exclusive watch - the Maurice de Mauriac L3 Les Clefs d’Or. This watch is exclusively reserved for members of Les Clefs d’Or.
