Massena LAB and Ral Pags Collaborate on Exclusive Timepiece: The Noctograph

In an exciting collaboration that brings together two powerhouses of horology, Massena LAB has officially unveiled the Noctograph, a limited-edition watch created in partnership with the acclaimed independent watchmaker Ral Pags. This marks the third collaboration between the two, known for their unique and precious creations that appeal to watch enthusiasts and collectors alike.
The Noctograph is a testament to the duos commitment to craftsmanship and innovative design. It features a sleek and versatile case diameter of 38.5mm, thoughtfully crafted from durable stainless steel. One of its most striking attributes is the beautifully designed dial, which employs a two-tone color scheme that is both clean and visually arresting. The mainplate of the dial presents a serene midnight blue hue, enhanced by a vertically brushed finish that catches the light just right.
Encircling the dial is a rhodium-plated chapter ring, intricately finished with a radial-brushed texture, providing an elegant frame for the time-telling elements. The dial is further adorned with a black railroad track, which aids in indicating the hours and minutes without creating a cluttered appearance. The watch features exquisitely crafted leaf-shaped hands that glide smoothly over the dial, alongside a subtle Massena signature and a tonal small seconds display positioned at 6 oclock, adding to its sophistication.
At the core of the Noctograph is the impressive M660 movement, a Swiss-made caliber renowned for its reliability and precision. This movement offers a remarkable 60-hour power reserve, ensuring that the watch can stand the test of time. For those who appreciate the artistry in watchmaking, the movement is visible through a sapphire open case back, allowing aficionados to admire the intricate details of its construction. The hand-chamfered plates and bridges, complemented by the Ctes de Genve finishing, showcase not only the technical prowess involved but also the aesthetic beauty of the timepiece. Adding a personal touch, the tortoise-shaped signature, known as Poinon Pags, is also featured, emphasizing the unique craftsmanship of the watchmaker.
The Massena LAB x Ral Pags Noctograph is available for a price of $8,875 USD, making it a coveted piece for collectors. Notably, this timepiece is limited to just 99 examples, underscoring its exclusivity and desirability. Enthusiasts can currently place a pre-order through Massena LABs official website, requiring a deposit of $2,500 USD to secure one of these limited editions.
