Introducing Massena LAB Collaborates with Raúl Pagès to Unveil the Noctograph

Massena LAB is well known for its mission to design unique, limited-edition timepieces in collaboration with independent watchmakers like H. Moser, Vulcain, and many others. One of its most notable partnerships is with the talented watchmaker Raúl Pagès, and following the Magraph and the Absinthe, the third time truly is the charm. Meet the Noctograph, a refined dress watch powered by the brand’s proprietary caliber, topped off with a beautiful midnight-blue dial.

The case is crafted from stainless steel, measuring 38.5mm in diameter and just 10mm thick, offering a compact and balanced wrist presence. The dial is protected by a sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating, while the exhibition caseback reveals the movement within.

The design draws inspiration from the 1930s to 1950s, and features a vertically brushed midnight-blue dial, framed by a concave bezel, gains added dimensionality through a raised, rhodium-plated chapter ring, also brushed, that carries a printed minute track in matching blue. At six o’clock, a sunken small seconds subdial is outlined with a metallic ring and marked with a sector track, also in dark blue. A heat-blued seconds hand adds the perfect amount of contrast, while the hours and minutes are indicated by elegant leaf hands. As a subtle signature, “Massena” is engraved just outside the subdial, nodding to Pagès’ own custom dial aesthetic.

Powering the Noctograph is Massena LAB’s proprietary M660 manual-wind movement, developed by and finished to Pagès’ specifications. The movement features Côtes de Genève on the main plate, and hand-applied anglage on the bridges. It beats at 28,800 vph (4Hz) and offers a power reserve of 60 hours.

The watch comes with a grey Italian calfskin strap, secured by a steel buckle signed by Massena LAB. Limited to just 99 pieces, the Noctograph is priced at $8,875, approximately AED 32,600.
