The Noctograph by Massena LAB and Raúl Pagès is a collaborative wristwatch that blends minimalist design with classical influences. It features a 38.5mm stainless steel case inspired by 1940s and 50s dress watches, with brushed sides and polished lugs and bezel. The serene, vertically brushed dial is a curious shade of midnight blue that shifts in the light and includes a rhodium-plated, radially brushed chapter ring with a black railroad track. Elegant feuille hands in stainless steel indicate the time, and a subtly sunken small seconds counter is positioned at 6 o’clock. A “Massena” ghost signature is discreetly placed at 4 o’clock.
Powering the Noctograph is the manual-winding, Swiss-made Massena LAB proprietary caliber M660, designed in collaboration with Raúl Pagès. This movement features hand-finishing, including Côtes de Genève, hand-chamfered plates and bridges, and decorative perlage. Raúl Pagès’ signature, the poinçon Pagès in the form of a tortoise, is visible under the balance wheel. The movement operates at 28,800 vph (4Hz), has 21 jewels, a hacking function, and a 60-hour power reserve. It is adjusted to heat, cold, isochronism, and five positions.
The watch comes on a dove grey calfskin leather strap, handmade in Italy for Massena LAB, with a newly designed stainless steel Massena LAB signature buckle. The Noctograph is limited to 99 pieces and is priced at US $8,875, with a $2,500 deposit required to secure a piece.
