In the atelier on Tödistrasse, the heart of time has always beaten with human warmth.
37 degrees – the temperature that makes life tangible. It is the pulsating foundation of Maurice de Mauriac. And it is precisely this warmth that inspires us to continually venture into the realm of horological excellence, where tradition and the future meet in an intimate encounter.
With the MDM X Cardano, we have taken a step that is as bold as it is natural: we combine Swiss watchmaking with the power of blockchain and the poetry of artificial intelligence. Only 99 pieces are being produced – by hand, with soul. A piece of eternity on your wrist.
A timepiece that not only keeps time, but also preserves memories.
Every MDM X Cardano comes with a digital product passport, created in collaboration with Tokenance, the Swiss boutique software house that transforms technology into elegance. In a secure Swiss data room, each watch is given its own identity – forgery-proof, impossible to lose and ready to preserve stories.
And that is exactly what we do:
The owners of this watch can immortalise a message of love forever on the Cardano blockchain. Words that remain, even as time passes. No piece of jewellery in the world has ever offered such immortality – now a watch from Zurich does – ours!

A flap protects the anti-reflective sapphire crystal. When opened, it reveals the movement beneath the glass – the watch comes to life. This movement is specially manufactured by Concepto to meet our quality standards.

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.

The digital product passport also features artificial intelligence that embodies the spirit of Ada Lovelace – the first woman to understand the nature of computers before they even existed. To speak with her is to pay homage to genius, vision and the power of thought. The fact that she, of all people, is now part of a Maurice de Mauriac Edition feels like a wonderfully elegant rally between the past and the future: an extremely fast-paced, imaginative exchange of ideas about what constitutes time.
