The newest model of the Masterpiece Collection draws attention with functions developed completely in-house at Maurice Lacroix: a power reserve indicator and two retrograde displays. This wrist watch is exceptional because of its rare, highly complex mechanism and especially its retrograde 24-hour display for a second time zone. In addition to a pink gold version of this watch, Maurice Lacroix also offers a limited edition of only 99 watches with a precious platinum case in 2003.
Watchmakers, it is said, are by and large a rather inventive kind of people. How else would they have been able to think of such a wealth of novel mechanisms, different time displays and complications, and perfect the wheel watch in this way. The nice thing about it is that this imaginative guild has by far not run out of ideas at the beginning of the 21st century.
The best proof for this is the small, yet exceptionally creative team of developers of Maurice Lacroix. In 2003, it is presenting an absolutely unrivalled wrist watch. This creation of the exclusive Masterpiece Collection is an eye-catching reminiscence of earlier generations that committed their innovative work to mechanically measured and kept time.
Preserving a Traditional Display
The most current result of this creation, infused by a spirit of the extraordinary, is called “Double Rétrograde”, a name that begins to lift the veil of this secret. This promising name did not come about by chance. It unmistakably indicates that this exclusive mechanical timekeeper has a total of two retrograde (i.e. resetting) indications.
