CHRONO MODERN BRONZE “BIG DATE” THE LEGACY
MDM.330.45.BIGDATE.BR.LEGACY
A forest knife with a mountain range on its back, a whisky that has been painstakingly wrested from nature and a mechanical watch made from archaic bronze in a box – ‘The Legacy’ – is hard to beat in terms of exciting sensuality.
This box of exclusive Swiss watchmaking art is another legacy of Daniel Dreifuss, who brought our manufactories together with his passion. Daniel continues to have an impact and his sons and their partner manufactories are now implementing his passion at a level that honours him.
Only 20 boxes are sold worldwide and CHF 9870 is an excellent investment in this pure pleasure.

CHRONO MODERN “BIG DATE” PUSHER
The pushers are the direct contact between the movement and the person. The stop function can be started, stopped and reset. To prevent these functions from being triggered accidentally, we offer screw-down crowns. The crown must be unlocked before use and secured again after use. MDM BIG DATE CASE BACK
In our see-through cases, a sapphire crystal reveals the pulsating special calibre. You have the feeling of being able to see and feel the soul of the mechanical automatic movement. Together with an engraving on the rotor, every watch becomes a highly emotional gift. Even to yourself. Bronze
We use a highly customised bronze alloy from Zurich. Bronze is anti-magnetic, low-wear, elastic, slightly more brittle and 10% heavier than stainless steel. It is particularly characterised by its resistance to seawater. The material is permanently protected under the layer of oxidising copper. The discolouration of bronze is what makes it so special and turns every watch into an absolutely unique piece that is influenced solely by the life of its owner. Bronze can discolour. This discolouration can normally be removed with normal washing. The Legacy Box
It includes a bronze Chrono Modern ‘BIG DATE’ by Maurice de Mauriac, a forest knife from PanormaKnife and a single malt whisky from the Marcado distillery. The Forest Knife
From the Panorama Knife factory exclusively shows the mountain silhouettes of Piz Bernina, Tödi, Uetli- and Wellenberg. Suitable for conquering these mountains in adventure mode. The Whisky
From the renowned Macardo distillery, is limited to just 20 bottles. An exclusive rarity for whisky connoisseurs who want to enjoy 49% alcohol in its most intoxicating form. 1

Modern
Our success is built on these watches! They are our classics, and may forever be called "Chrono Modern". Designed by Daniel Dreifuss, the 051015 dial gives both watch and owner a subtle dynamism. The dimensions of these watches and their clear edges leave no doubt - a "Chrono Modern" always adorns a strong arm. No matter whether on water, on land or in the air. Mechanically driven, of course, the "Chrono Modern" is modular in design and allows for unique customization. You will love it as it will love you.

WE ARE OPEN 💥
You can now visit us at Rämistrasse 5, 8001 Zurich.
We still can hardly believe our eyes. Once more, it is proof that team work makes the dream work. Watching this vision come to life in such a short time, through the hands of so many talented and dedicated people, feels amazing.
Tomorrow, we open the doors to our first floor and the gallery, while we continue working on the third. Step by step.
A special thank you goes to everyone in our MDM-Family and our hardworking team, who made this possible.
Come by and see it for yourself. We are very much looking forward to welcoming you! #teamwork #mauricedemauriac #zurich
New opening hours : Mo-Fr 10-18.30 & Sa: 11-17.00

Päps 4-Ever ❤️ it doesn’t matter where.
For the past few years, our father, we call him„Päps“, hung above all the shelves at the end of the room, so that he had a good view of the table university and the entire atelier. As a silent critic, a constant inspiration, and a romantic memory.
After we had packed up all the stories of the atelier, with Maurice de Mauriac’s heart now beating only in moving boxes, Päps remained as the last great story. This situation had arisen, and yet it seemed as if it had to be exactly that way.
The captain is always the last to leave the ship. In this case, however, nothing is lost; we are simply changing ships.
Thank you, Päps, for allowing us to continue your life’s dream. The beginnings in Tödistrasse will always remain the first and strongest story.
Needless to say, the picture of Päps in Rämistrasse was one of the very first things we gave a new home to.
From February 16, you can see it at Rämistrasse 5. Until then, we have to achieve the impossible – get everything ready.
Massimo, Leonard, Masha
and the whole Päps family

TIME TO MOVE 📦 After 26 years at our beloved Atelier on Tödistrasse 48, the time has come for a new chapter.
We are incredibly excited about this big step and can’t wait to welcome you into our new home at Rämistrasse 5.
We found the perfect place. Beautifully enough, it sits just opposite our father’s favourite restaurant @kronenhalle (We like to think of it as his sign from heaven)
Please note that we will be closed from February 9 to 15 while we move.
From Monday, February 16, we look forward to opening our doors at our new address:
Rämistrasse 5, 8001 Zürich. #moving #mauricedemauriac #rämistrasse
BE READY FOR OUR NEXT BIG MOVE✨. New address, same spirit. See you soon at Rämistrasse 5, 8001 Zurich. #rämistrasse #mauricedemauriac #bigmove
Incredible! The Russell Story continues…
After visiting us during the @zurichfilmfestival Russell invited us to personally deliver his Rallymaster IV to his farm in Nana Glen. So after launching it in Melbourne during AO 2026 we went to see him on his farm and stayed full three days. We had just an amazing TIME.
This is a real dream coming true and an once in a life time experience! But most important it shows that also Hollywoodstars are only human beings who love community & family ❤️
