L3 SMALL SECONDS
MDM.L3.SS.ST.RD.
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’

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.
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! ✨

Following the ZÜRI-DATE, the BÄRN-DATE and the ZUG-DATE, the BASEL-DATE now speaks the Basel dialect. This means that the days of the week on the Day-Date movement speak the language of the people of Basel.

Made by Zurich – loved by Portofino 🇮🇹⛵️
We only work with selected retail partners. Such contacts often arise in places where our family members like to spend a lot of time. Portofino is one of these places. And now what belongs together has come together: Maurice de Mauriac and Gold for Ever by Valentina Cattaneo and a selection from our L series, which she offers to her customers there. Gold for Ever is also a family business - the chemistry is right and everyone knows the opportunities, challenges and passion of the other. We are delighted to be represented in this wonderful place.
