PRE BaselWorld 2012:

Maurice Lacroix Masterpiece Roue Carree Seconde Or Rose

Posted 4 months, 1 week ago


In 2010, Maurice Lacroix revolutionised the mechanics of time with the invention of a square gear wheel, the first in watchmaking history. The now famous Masterpiece was greeted with acclaim. Today, the line continues with a model of the utmost refinement. Crafted in pink gold, this new arrival rests on a dark brown, almost black movement plate. This contrast further accentuates the hypnotic effect of its angular rotation, together with the geometric interlacing of straight lines and curves. Small seconds come to life before the eyes as the openwork square wheel rhythmically follows its course. Dedicated to excellence, this new timepiece embodies the spirit of a collection that brings together engineering and aesthetic to train the spotlight on an exclusive mechanical display. The watch is issued in 88-piece limited series.

The watch utilizes hand-wound, Maurice Lacroix ML 156 manufacture calibre, endowed with 45 hours of power reserve. It provides indications for hour, minutes, seconds, and remaining power in the barrelspring.

The watch is crafted in 18-carat pink gold and boasts 43 millimeters in diameter. It has a screw-down caseback with large sapphire crystal, sealed against the ingress of water to up to 50 meters.
