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.
It is an absolute honor to be associated with Les Clefs d’Or and create a special edition chronograph in collaboration with our ‘neighbors’ Luc Frieseisen, President of the Les Clefs d’Or Suisse and Concierce at The Dolder Grand 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

THE GOLDEN WATCH FOR LES CLEFS D’OR 🔑💛
From Zurich to New York, Paris to Tokyo and everywhere in between, no one knows the world like Les Clefs d’Or. Founded in 1952, the prestigious organization partnered with us to create its own official timepiece. Noblesse oblige!
These concierges are only found in first-class five-star hotels and can be recognised by the crossed keys on their revers. Until now. From now on, these insiders will be increasingly recognisable by their exclusive watch - the Maurice de Mauriac L3 Les Clefs d’Or. This watch is exclusively reserved for members of Les Clefs d’Or.
