L3 SMALL SECONDS
MDM.L3.SS.DLC.BK.
design by Fabian Schwaerzler
‘The Zurich School of Concrete Art inspired Schwaerzler just as much as the classics of this type of watch, in order to develop from there in a straight line – to complete the L(inien) series. It has become a class of its own and thus a worthy part of the L-series watch triptych. We call it a cuff watch because it gently caresses cuffs and suit sleeves with its low case height and high domed crystal’
Case: stainless steel with DLC-Coating
Case size: 36.5 mm
Total height: 10.5 mm

Watch Specifications
Refined ETA 2895-2-TOP
In our see-through cases, a blue anti-reflective sapphire crystal reveals the pulsating calibre. You have the feeling of being able to see and feel the soul of the mechanical automatic movement. This movement is specially refined according to our quality standards. It is an automatic movement with hours, minutes, small seconds and date! 28,800 a/h, Incabloc shock protection, 44-hour power reserve
Screw-down crown
The crown is the immediate connection between the movement and the owner. It is therefore easy to grip and can be turned precisely, so that the watch can be set with great ease. Thanks to the highly domed sapphire crystal, the watch glides very smoothly under cuffs.
the darker the brighter
Superluminova is a phosphorescent phosphor and free of radioactive additives. Superluminova is a hundred times brighter than other inactive luminescent pigments. When the luminescent pigments have been excited by daylight or artificial light, they release the absorbed light energy over several hours in the dark. 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. Timeless elegance for every occasion
Anyone who appreciates this touch of elegance in watches will love this watch. It presents itself confidently and stylishly, but knows how to glide smoothly under blouses, cuffs and blazers thanks to the cambered glass. A timelessly beautiful statement for men and women alike. 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.
A Dial with the Depth of Fine Red Wine
The sunburst red dial shifts with every ray of light—vibrant, deep, and endlessly nuanced. Sometimes bold, sometimes mysterious, always captivating.
A dial that leaves a lasting impression without ever demanding attention.

WE ARE READY FOR SUMMER ☀️
Summer is our favorite season, so of course we had to bring out all the colorful straps and accessories ;)
And yes… the finish flag window was a must🏁 . #mauricedemauriac #natostraps #zürich
Fridays for Future!!! ⚙️✨
Our passion for watchmaking is built on precision, craftsmanship, and passing knowledge on to the next generation.
At just 22 years old, Sean is already part of our team of watchmakers — and today he had the opportunity to introduce two interested students to the fascinating world of haute horlogerie. 🔍
From intricate movements and traditional craftsmanship to the passion behind every tiny detail, it was inspiring to see the curiosity and enthusiasm of these young visitors.
Because true craftsmanship lives on when it is shared. Perhaps we already met the watchmakers of tomorrow.
