- Comment: Please take some time to fix the references. Bare URLs are not sufficient – there has to be at least a minimum of bibliographic info to let the reader know what the sources are and how to find them. Especially for a paid editor, it is crucial that you do this before submitting a draft for review (rather than ask the unpaid volunteers to do it in the draft you were paid to create!) Here is a beginner's guide to formatting references in a Wikipedia article. bonadea contributions talk 20:12, 12 February 2025 (UTC)
Massena LAB is a New York-based watch brand and creative platform, founded by watch collector and expert William Massena.[1][2] Massena LAB is known for its collaborations on limited-edition watches by small, independent watchmakers.[3][4][2]
Overview
Massena LAB was founded in New York in 2018[1] by William Massena after his time at TimeZone, the popular watch enthusiast forum, where he debuted two collaborations with Habring²[1], the Austrian independent watchmaker led by Richard and Maria Habring[5]. The word “LAB” in its name symbolizes both a ‘laboratory’[6] and ‘collaboration[6]’ recalling Massena LAB’s relationship with its partner brands.
In 2024, Massena LAB was awarded the Chronograph Watch Prize at the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève.[7] The prestigious award was shared with Swiss independent watchmaker Sylvain Pinaud for the Chronograph Monopoussoir Sylvain Pinaud x Massena LAB,[8][9] a handmade monopusher chronograph limited to only ten pieces. This marked Massena LAB’s first win at the competition, which has been held annually in Geneva, Switzerland since 2001.[10]
