Having visited many watch-making companies in Switzerland over the past few years, I presupposed my visit to ML to be like any other. But the viewing of the new ML releases for Basel had aroused my curiosity – a reaction befitting any watch lover – and my visit turned out to be a very pleasant surprise and a valuable learning experience. ML’s Masterpiece Collection is maturing and developing with each passing year, becoming more and more impressive as time goes by. It is clear that ML have long-term plans to enter more deeply into the higher end of the market, and they offer fantastic value for money in today’s small and highly overpopulated mechanical wristwatch market.
