PRE BaselWorld 2011:

Maurice Lacroix Masterpiece Calendrier Retrograde and Double Retrograde

Posted 1 year, 2 months ago


The beautiful line of Masterpiece watches from Maurice Lacroix is extended to embrace two new models, that are going to be officially unveiled in a couple of days at BaselWorld exhibition. This time, we’re presenting Masterpiece Calendrier Rétrograde & Masterpiece Double Rétrograde.

Both watches are crafted in pink gold and limited to only 50 pieces. Nested in 46 mm wide cases, these watches radiate a very contemporary appeal, defined by enhanced simplicity.

Both of the models feature sun-brushed satin finished blue dials. One is equipped with a retrograde at 10 o’clock, while the other reveals a GMT double retrograde and date at 12 and 6 o’clock. The dial is very practical and easy to read, separated by delicate cut out displays, and harmonious composition of royal blue and golden tones. The power reserve display is located 2 or 3 o’clock depending on the model.

The plain pink-gold hands with diamond-cut finish flawlessly flow above the blue dial, based on a solid 925 silver plate, indicating the time on pink-gold applied markers. The purity of the dial is protected domed by sapphire crystal protective glass, which is also used for the case-back.



View from the back reveals movements of the ML 190 for the Calendrier Rétrograde and ML 191 for the Double Rétrograde, both created in the spirit of true Swiss tradition. Both movements are rhodium-plated and finely decorated with the vertical brushed finish and Grand Colimaçon. The movements offer 52 hours of power reserve.

The watches are completed with black large-scale crocodile-skin strap, lined with black calfskin and black over-stitching. Tightly secured to the wrist by the 18K pink-gold standard buckle, these watches are water resistant to 50 meters. The watch will also be available in stainless steel and in slightly smaller case size of 43 mm, with dial options: black and silver-plated.
