Noctograph by Massena LAB and Raúl Pagès

Noctograph by Massena LAB and Raúl Pagès is a wristwatch with a serene dial, elegant 38.5mm stainless steel case, and a proprietary movement designed by Massena LAB in collaboration with Raúl Pagès.

The Noctograph melds minimalism with the classical and historical influences referenced by Massena LAB. This fusion can be observed on the dial of the Noctograph, which is characterized by a prominent main plate in a dark and curious shade of blue. Shifting in the light, the dial–which has been vertically brushed for visual interest–changes color from slate to petrol to deep midnight. Looking closely, sharp-eyed observers will note the subtle “Massena” signature, carefully placed at 4 o’clock.

Powering the watch is the caliber M660, a manual-winding, Swiss-made movement with hand-finishing and a power reserve of 60 hours. Visible through its sapphire crystal caseback, the M660 features a broad plate with Côtes de Genève finishing as well as hand-chamfered plates and bridges. Taking the form of a tortoise (recalling his much celebrated automaton), Raúl Pagès’ signature, the poinçon Pagès, is tucked under the caliber’s balance wheel. Carefully framing the poinçon are overlapping decorative circles of perlage.
