Massena LABs and Raúl Pagès, Magraph, Artisanal Timepiece, Unused New, Full Set 2023
Magraph is the first collaboration between Raúl Pagès and any other brand. It also features, for the first time ever, a Massena LAB proprietary movement: the M660, designed by Raúl Pagès in Switzerland. The M660 is a manual-winding, 4Hz movement, with a power reserve of 60 hours, and 21 jewels. The M660 features a handsome, broad plate with Côtes de Genève finishing and hand-chamfered anglage on its plates and bridges, all of which is visible through its exhibition caseback. Tucked under its balance wheel is the hidden mark of Raúl Pagès: "La tortue," or tortoise. Surrounding this stamped signature, or poinçon Pagès, are overlapping decorative circles or perlage. This degree of movement finishing demonstrates a level of artistry and skill that is more akin to a luxury timepiece three times its price. The dial of the Magraph is inspired by Bauhaus art and design of the 1930s, which favors simple geometric shapes against elaborate ornamentation. The Magraph by Massena LAB and Raúl Pagès
