design by Fabian Schwaerzler
Nomination Swiss Design Award 2019
“Maurice de Mauriac’s minimal and ultra-modernist L Series has become something of a modern classic, designed in close collaboration with fellow Zurich visionary Mr Fabian Schwaerzler – a close friend of founder Mr Dreifuss. Mr Schwaerzler’s signature style translates effortlessly from his usual oeuvre of chairs and sofas to the matter of a circular timepiece, its purpose and functionality heightened through his purist approach.”

Watch Specifications
Automat Classic in Bronze
The cases for automatic watches are 11 mm tall and have a crown. The crown offers good grip and precise turning, thereby making adjustments to the watch very easy. The watch is water-resistant to 10 ATM. This means that the watch can be worn, for example, while washing your hands, in the rain, in the shower, while washing the car, skiing, trekking or swimming.” Automatic, caseback in bronze
Our display back case uses a blue anti-reflective sapphire crystal and thus allows for an unobstructed view of the pulsating caliber. One has the feeling that the soul of the mechanical automatic movement can both be felt and seen. The watch is alive. Together with the possibility of the custom labeled rotor, each watch becomes a truly personal gift – even to oneself Caliber ETA 28.24-2
ETA 28.24-2 is one of the most famous Swiss watch movement.TOP Execution

Bronze
We use a very individual bronze alloy sourced in Zurich. Bronze is anti-magnetic, resistant to wear, is elastic, slightly more brittle and 10% heavier than stainless steel. Above all, it stands out due to its resistance to seawater. Beneath a layer of oxidised copper, the material offers lasting protection. The discolouration of the bronze is particularly appealing and means that every watch, over time, evolves into a unique piece—one solely influenced by the life of the watch owner. While bronze can stain, these stains are usually removed in the normal laundry process. The darker, the brighter
Super-LumiNova is a brand name under which strontium aluminate–based non-radioactive and non-toxic photoluminescent or afterglow pigments for illuminating markings on watch dials, hands and bezels, etc. in the dark are marketed. This technology offers up to ten times higher brightness than previous zinc sulfide-based materials. When the luminescent pigments were stimulated by daylight or artificial light, they give off the light energy in the dark for several hours. This gives the watch extremely good legibility even in the dark. Personalised engraving
Together with an inscribed rotor, every watch becomes a highly emotional gift. Even to yourself. 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.
The MDM Family found a new home and celebrated it BIG 🍾✨
The doors are officially open at the new address — Rämistrasse 5, 8001 Zurich — and we celebrated in style. Great people, great vibes, bold watches, and plenty of reasons to raise a glass.
Right in the heart of Zurich, the new space feels exactly like us: special, colorful, historic, and full of character.
Here’s to new beginnings, good times, and ticking into the future together.

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

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 ❤️
