With a mission to make its watches “as French as possible,” March LA.B took an important step recently when it switched from Japanese movements to Swiss-made La Joux-Perret movements assembled by Humbert-Droz in Besançon, France. Showcasing these new Franco-Swiss movements are the March LA.B AM2 Slim watches, which feature highly distinctive seventies-era-inspired designs in an approachable compact size.
The design blueprint of the AM2 Slim isn’t new – it’s based on the AM2, which has been a mainstay of the March LA.B’s catalog since the early days of the company. However, as its name suggests, the Slim iteration offers more restrained proportions for those who prefer smaller watches. As such, the AM2 Slim watches sport 36mm stainless steel cases that are 11.32mm thick. The octagonal case silhouette includes plenty of angles forming the lugs and flanks while the combination of brushed and polished finishes serves to highlight those defined edges.
