Notably, when this unique vintage wristwatch last sold publicly at auction in 2014, it set a record for the most valuable time-only wristwatch ever sold at auction, cementing its place in history.

    2022

    The Mathey-Tissot x Massena LAB Type XX Flyback Chronograph is one of two vintage-inspired chronographs that honor one of the great tool watches of mid-century aviation.

The requirements included a flyback function, or retour en vol, which allowed a pilot to instantaneously restart a running chronograph without the typical need to stop, reset, and then restart; a black dial with large, luminous, Arabic numerals and two registers at 3 and 9 o’clock; a bidirectional, 12-hour rotation bezel; and a power reserve of at least 35 hours.

    2022

    The Massena LAB Geometer, released as a friend and family exclusive, is a reincarnation of the famously collectible Rodania Geometer, a favorite of vintage watch enthusiasts and collectors.

    2021

It is this attention to detail, dedication, and savoir-faire that is the essence of Old School.

    Limited edition of 11.

  • UNIMATIC x Massena LAB U1-ML6


    2020

    Born from the idea of “What would a UNIMATIC watch from the 1950s look like today,” the UNIMATIC x Massena LAB U1-ML6 began as a conversation between the two companies on how to create a high-quality wristwatch that felt modern and incorporated vintage touch points, while not relying on nostalgia alone.

    The watch features a classic black bezel with a red triangle, reminiscent of the Rolex 6538, made famous by Sean Connery as James Bond in Goldfinger. The 15-minute marker on the bezel is the first time that UNIMATIC has featured it on one of its watches. Turning the 120-click unidirectional bezel is both an audible and tactile treat; the bezel hangs slightly over the diameter of the watch, making it easier to turn as well.

    Limited edition of 99 pieces
  • UNIMATIC U1-MLM


    2020

    Massena LAB's second collaboration with UNIMATIC, the U1-MLM draws inspiration from the watches of the French Navy of the 1960's.

    An anchor is engraved on the case back, a reference to the French naval tradition. Each watch was delivered with a matching blue NATO strap as well as a French navy loop strap in olive with a centered yellow stripe.

  • MB&F x L’Epée x Massena LAB T-Rex Bronze


    2020

    Straddling time from the ancient to the immediate, T-Rex Bronze creates a harmonious balance between mechanical and organic forms. This model switches out the original steel for bronze, the copper alloy whose mastery amounted to a technological revolution so immense that it ushered in a new age of early civilization.

    The feet of the T-Rex Bronze are aged to create an earthy brown patina, and the entire bronze structure is oxidized by hand to “lock in time” its color and the unique characteristics of the material. This individual patination and stabilization means that no two clocks are alike.

    Limited to only 15 pieces.
  • Massena LAB Uni-Racer, White


    2020

  • ERWIN LAB02


    2020

    On its dial, the ERWIN LAB02 is a simple, three hand timepiece with a contrast silver and rose gold sector dial. The 38.5 mm stainless steel case is polished with a step bezel that frames a sector dial that recalls the legendary sector dials from the 1930s.

    The sector dial is divided into four concentric segments. The markings are a deep midnight blue and numerals of each segment are raised and finished in rhodium for depth.

    Another particularity of the dial is that the outer railway five-minute divisions are perfectly aligned with the jumping seconds hand. The feuille hands are also rhodium finished. Altogether, the contrast of the rhodium elements against the rose gold and silver dial results in excellent legibility.

  • Habring² ERWIN LAB01
