A collaboration between independent watchmaker, Raúl Pagès, and watch-industry veteran, William Massena, the Magraph boasts a case and dial design from Massena coupled with a rearchitected movement design by Pagès.

The M660 caliber that powers the Magraph is based on a stripped-down Valjoux 7750, with custom bridgework that is crafted and finished by a network of 3rd parties in the Vallée de Joux.

In both name and aesthetics, the Magraph is derived from a timepiece created by Patek Philippe for the German retailer, Margraf, during the Great Depression.

As a whole, the Magraph serves up a pragmatic blend of boutique watchmaking and mass manufacturing. A number of corners were clearly cut to hit its price point, and it's worth noting that Pagès served more as consultant than hands-on watchmaker for this project, but Massena Lab has provided an ample number of macro photos on the product page so that anyone who has put a deposit down on one knows exactly what they're getting.
