5 «It seems that perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away» Antoine de SAINT EXUPERY «Terre des Hommes»

6 March LA.B is a France-made luxury timepiece brand striking a balance between modern L.A. style and French heritage detailing. Rooted in vintage inspiration, these timepieces are refined in their simplicity and assert the philosophy that less is more. MARCH : For the symbolism of the month, for the number 3 LA.B : For the acronyms of Los Angeles and Biarritz.

8 March LA.B is a tribute to the timeless elegance of vintage watches. Our self-imposed creative requirement is to design timeless styles that will transmit to future generations, following the example set by the most exceptional watches of the past decades. The March LA.B creative team focuses on that aesthetic concept to reveal outstanding timepieces, which are minimal, elegant and lower-profile with balanced proportions complimentary with the style of today s urban dandy.

10 March LA.B founders have made their vision reality... elegant watches for a sartorialist man; A man of character, chic and eclectic in his taste. Functional yet refined, the March LA.B watches are dedicated to him.

12 March LA.B has shifted its course to claim their «French touch»; aligning the brand with the heritage of traditional French watchmaking By partnering with prestigious French assemblers and leather goods artisans in the area of Franche- Comté March LA.B has retained its scrupulous adherence to the principles of local watchmaking culture: technical expertise, reliability, and accuracy.. March LA.B timepieces are assembled by master watchmakers who have perfected the complexities of their craft. Their expertise ensures precise control and technical excellence. All components are constructed, tested and adjusted with painstaking detail in order to ensure the utmost quality. Once assembled, the March LA.B timepieces are perfectly paired with a variety of exotic and genuine leather straps: lizard Tupinambis Merianae from Argentina, alligator from Louisiana, Astra calf leather from France.

15 The March LA.B «Green Line» is a subtle green signature through discrete details. The number 3 of the customized date reminding the founder s favorites month. The lining bracelets stitched a flange point of the emblematic color. The bright «skeleton» background on the automatic versions.

58 CÉSAR ANCELLE-HANSEN Emergency doctor, surfer and photographer. César is one of our faithful ambassadors and precious collaborator. An ambassador of charm whose elegance only equals his benevolence. A talented partner, whose aesthetic vision is immense. His eye is accurate, sharp and refined. He catches the moments of grace in order to sublimate them on glossy paper. Over the waves, over the time, and especially time spent on the waves... A tight artistic complicity was born between César and March LA.B. A hedonistic complicity that highlights Biarritz clichés, often sensual and always very emotional.

61 March LA.B is socially conscious. March LA.B is socially conscious. Time and the watch structure life. The green color symbolizes life. This color code is recurrent in the brand s creations. The March LA.B Green Line expresses the will to assist associations in the work of suicide prevention, a socially taboo affliction that particularly concerns the lives of those involved with the brand. Suicide imposes public denial, and the danger of silence that accompanies it. By donating 1% of its benefits to associations helping suicide prevention, March LA.B wishes to fight this silence that kills. For our children, our families, our friends and our neighbors.
