History

March LA.B was founded in 2010 by Alain Marhic in Biarritz, France, blending French design sensibility with Swiss watchmaking mechanics. The name merges "March" (movement) with "LA.B" (laboratory of ideas). "Nyctalope" means one who can see in the dark — fitting for a watch designed around luminous legibility. March LA.B occupies a distinctive position in French independent watchmaking, offering timepieces that feel like wearable design objects.
