Gold-plated 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. 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. The golden keys of Les Clefs d'Or

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 ‘neighbor’, Jens Maier, Concierge at Park Hyatt 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
