About MW Timepieces
MW Timepieces was born from our small design project called MaestroWorks Studio in Jakarta, Indonesia. The idea is to make a proper design processing with a well-experienced team. Coincidently, we all love watches, and our first design project turned to be a wristwatch design. Our design team is a combination of watch enthusiasts and graphic designers. Led by Adrian who is very driven to create a premium wristwatch brand from Indonesia, which focuses on designed language, iconic timepieces inspirations, well manufacturing process, advanced specifications, and proper quality control. Finally, our first design was created at the end of 2018. We called it LEGATODIVER that will be the first-ever premium wristwatch with a combination of musical approaches and iconic timepieces that ever existed.
LEGATODIVER
A Modern classic dive watch with a musical approach that you have never seen before!
Jakarta— December 2021 — MW Timepieces is proud to release its long-awaited classic and timeless dive watch collection, LEGATODIVER, on Kickstarter. LEGATODIVER is designed to combine arts, sports, elegance, and durable timepieces. This is going to be the first of its kind dive watch inspired by musical instruments. Unique pieces, excellent diving ability, reliable SW200-1 Swiss movement, simplicity, and stand-out luminescence.
LEGATODIVER is a musically inspired timepiece, combining the essence of a guitar fretboard and pick-up. We finally execute this part perfectly by having it engraved on the underside of sapphire crystal. Turn the watch over and you will be pleasantly surprised to see an acoustic guitar hole, which subtly reveals the Sellita SW200 Swiss automatic movement that powers the watch. (Exhibition style, engraved with specifications, chemical engravings artworks, and sapphire crystal with guitar string artworks printed on the underside of sapphire crystal).
Music touches the soul in darkness and light, and so does the LEGATODIVER. Each watch is generously applied with Super-LumiNova®. Even the date wheel, crown sign, and minute tracks are filled with Super-LumiNova® which is something that you can only see in watches way beyond the price point of the LEGATODIVER.
With every watch enthusiast in mind, we incorporated double-sided quick-release spring bars and drilled lug holes. Watch lovers will now be able to change amongst their vast collection of straps with ease, only making the LEGATODIVER even more versatile.
The LEGATODIVER is the first in a line of a series of exceptionally designed, durable, and reliable watches from MW Timepieces. The LEGATODIVER is a Modern classic dive watch with a musical approach that you have never seen before.
The LEGATODIVER will come in five variants, Black, Blue, Teal, White, and a Limited edition MERAH-PUTIH, which will be available in limited quantities. The LEGATODIVER collection will launch on Kickstarter around Q2 of 2022 (date to be confirmed).

ONE OF A KIND BEZEL
LEGATODIVER bezel is designed to be very distinctive, inspired by guitar fretboard with all guitar strings and pick-up which technically takes time to be aligned by a watchmaker. We finally execute this part perfectly by having it engraved on stainless steel material, filled with Super-LumiNova® BGW9, and protected by a flat sapphire crystal, as well as making such dynamic looks of the bezel itself. This is the first of its kind, a distinctive bezel design with proper manufacturing execution.
SWISS MOVEMENT
Legatodiver is powered by reliable Swiss Movement; Sellita Calibre SW200-1 which is known as a very reliable movement that is being used by major watch brands all over the world. Hi-beat movement running in 28,800vph, 26 Jewels, Power reserve up to 38 hours with 300m water-resistant ability.
KILLER-LUME
Music touches the soul in darkness and light, and so does the LEGATODIVER. Each watch is generously applied with Super-LumiNova®. The date wheel, crown sign, minute tracks, and even the dial (in particular variants) are filled with Super-LumiNova® which is something that you can only see in watches way beyond the price point of the LEGATODIVER.
GLOWING DATE
A date wheel with luminous is something new to apply in microbrand watches industry and even this idea has never been applied to mainstream watch brands. LEGATODIVER will be one of the dive watches to apply this distinctive idea. This is not an easy task, the date wheel must be reprinted and filled with Super-LumiNova® BGW9, but we are proud to feature this idea in our LEGATODIVER.
DISTINCTIVE CASE BACK
As LEGATODIVER is one of the true dive watches that is heavily inspired by guitar elements, having a fretboard-inspired bezel is not enough. We decided to put an acoustic guitar sound hole inspiration in LEGATODIVER caseback, with 316L stainless steel, exhibition style, smooth engravings, engraved artworks, and covered with sapphire crystal as well as printed with guitar string artworks from the inside of the crystal. You will never find this idea in other dive watches.
QUICK-RELEASE BRACELET
Dressing up watches is something cool to do in the world of horology, but most of the time we found it difficult to replace the bracelet with another kind of straps. This won't happen in LEGATODIVER, we provide drilled-lug holes as well as a double-sided quick release mechanism in our solid 316L stainless steel bracelet. It will only take less than a minute to replace our bracelet with other straps.
WELL-ARTICULATED BRACELET
Forged from 316L stainless steel and tapering from 20mm to 16mm, the bracelet’s solid and fully articulating links echo designs. This robust bracelet has undergone the same proprietary hardening process as the case, with no sharp edges, well-articulated, perfect thickness, screw-pin bracelet adjustment, quick-release mechanism, and a mild double-locking deployant clasp for your secure wearing.
