Maurice de Mauriac – L3 Sees Red

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 horizontal tri-compax layout, very popular among watch collectors, has on Schwaerzler’s work desk been reduced to lines – the raison d’être for the L series. “In design it is much harder to take away than to add. And you should not take away just for the sake of reduction, but to improve the function and the aesthetics”

Our see-through cases, a blue, anti-reflective sapphire crystal reveals the vibrant calibre. You have the feeling of being able to see and feel the soul of the mechanical movement. The watch is alive. This movement is specially made to our quality standards by Concepto. It is a manual wind movement with hours, minutes and sweep second. Second stop device, eccentric fine adjustment Etachron, 28,800 vibrations per hour, 4 Hz, 25 jewels. Also available with an automatic movement.

Here in the black DLC version: The pushers are the direct contact between movement and human. The stop function can be started, stopped, and reset. The smooth, unscrewed pushers give the watch a fine retro elegance. This is underlined by the high-curved sapphire crystal, with which the watch slides very gently under cuffs.

DLC COATING

Stainless steel or titanium with a DLC-coating (Diamond-Like-Carbon) stands out via its beautiful grey / black colour. DLC makes stainless steel extremely abrasion and scratch resistant. Moreover, the layer of carbon applied in a state-of-the-art vacuum process is also highly anti-allergenic.
