03The community take

Owners talk.

“

Owners find the Massena LAB Archetype 1.1's dial visually appealing with blue and gold accents, but also too cluttered with multiple dial rings. The Sellita SW510 BH M Elaboré movement is considered solid, though not top-tier. The $5,000 price point for a microbrand using a serial movement is questioned by some owners. On balance, owners are split on the Massena LAB Archetype 1.1, with some appreciating its aesthetic and movement while others find the dial too busy and the price point high for a microbrand.
