L3 SMALL SECONDS
MDM.L3.SS.ST.PK.ME-1
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
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. 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. 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.
See you tomorrow BÄRN! 👀

BIG MOVE! Our atelier has always been in the right location, but now we are moving it.
We had to make a decision for the next 30 years. We made it. After much hesitation and discussion.
The atelier is getting a new address.
We are not revealing the new address yet. Suffice to say that our father would have loved the address with all his heart. That’s why we love it too.
The atelier will be available at the beginning of the year. We are now looking for new tenants. How wonderful it would be if someone wanted to take the spirit that will forever fill these rooms with them, so that they could celebrate similar successes in exactly the same place. Perhaps – inspired by this – even greater ones.
Is that you? Do you know someone who would like to or could be? Do you know someone who knows someone who would like to? With these words, we simply want to prevent someone from saying to us at some point: “If only I had known.” Or “Why didn’t you say anything?”
We are happy to tell interested parties about the special features of the location and the rooms. Because the atelier is close to our hearts.
In the coming weeks and months, you will find out where we have moved to in Zurich. And no, it’s not Bahnhofstrasse. It’s “Danielstrasse” opposite “Daniel-Ort”!
We wish you an exciting time.
Massimo, Leonard, Masha
and the whole Dreifuss family

One watch - for any wrist ✨
With its size, the L3 Small Seconds serves a growing trend towards slightly smaller watches.

Grand elegance in a small format - meet the L3 Small Seconds from our L series.
When we launched first the L3, the elegance of this watch became extremely visible. It’s not the conservative elegance. Its elegance fits perfectly to every environment. Not just in a fundamentally elegant lifestyle. With its colours and the complete absence of unnecessary decoration, it makes the life of an artist or an investment banker equally elegant. And if they should happen to meet, everyone will have the perfect watch on their wrist.

Last Week of Pink October 💗
You know us. We like to play with traditions. We even enjoy breaking them. But there is one tradition that is sacred to us – Pink October.
Pink October is an international campaign against breast cancer. The aim is to raise awareness and collect money so that the fight against breast cancer can be effective.
For this reason, we donate 20% of the purchase price of every watch with a pink dial sold in October to the Zurich Cancer League @krebsligazuerich
It was cancer that changed our family’s world two years ago. For us, this commitment is therefore more than just a tradition – it is a matter close to our hearts.
Is it close to yours too? Then you have one more week to make an impact.
